Answer:
1. I measured long-term memory for a narrative film.
2. During the test session, administered at a delay ranging from 3 h to 9 mo after the study session, long-term memory for the movie was probed using a computerized questionnaire that assessed cued recall, recognition, and metamemory of movie events sampled ∼20 sec apart.
3. Though the importance of real-life conditions in memory research has long been recognized , it is rather difficult to harness its naturalistic attributes in controlled, reproducible laboratory settings (Dudai 2002). Using movies as stimulus material can remedy some of these difficulties.
