In this view, low probability behavior is used to punish high probability behavior (Premack, 1971). First, the notion that encoding specificity is limited to recall measures alone does not support Tulving and Thomson's (1973) strong claim about encoding specificity generalizing to all.

Sensitivity refers to the ability of a test to correctly identify those patients who have the disease, whereas, specificity refers to the ability of a test to correctly identify those patients who do NOT have the disease (Akobeng, 2007). And finally, the Premack principle can be used to explain punishment. The overall evidence supports the position that regards heavy physical fatigue as a variable that can cause changes in the nature of certain motor skills so that the specificity of training principle becomes applicable. Sensitivity and specificity are two measures that evaluate the performance of medical tests. For the second criterion of non-fatigue practice, the data appeared to support the specificity principle but the rigorous test of the differences did not reach statistical significance. The results supported the specificity hypothesis that practicing a gross motor task under conditions of heavy-fatigue would facilitate performance of that task under criterion heavy-fatigue conditions. For example, if one of your goals is to strengthen the chest muscles, you need to perform exercises that target this area. Fatigue was induced by a step-up task so that a minimum HR of 180 beats/min was attained prior to each ladder trial. Another way to think about the principle of specificity is in the gym. On day 4 both groups practiced under the second criterion of non-fatigue conditions. The control group practiced under conditions of heavy interpolated fatigue on the first 3 days with day 3 representing the heavy-fatigue criterion conditions, while the experimental group did the same except for day 2 when a vowel-cancelling task was substituted for the fatigue task. O only similar kinds of information can be encoded together. O anything encoded with information can be a retrieval cue for that information. A review done by Pornpitakpan (2004) on studies from 1950-2004 found that using highly credible sources resulted in more persuasion. Application of the principle goes beyond that though, often supporting unsafe and stupid. Research has found that credibility and attractiveness are important in successful persuasion. This makes sense at first, as you would never expect to run a mile well by only lifting heavy weights. associative networks are formed of similarly encoded pieces of information. The principle of specificity states that training should closely match the activity that you wish to improve. Thirty-six college females were randomly assigned to either an experimental or a control group and both groups received 54 practice trials on a ladder climb task over four consecutive days (3,18,18 and 15 trials/day, respectively). Question: Question 11 The encoding specificity principle states that similar kinds of information are encoded into common schemas. The purpose of the present study was to test the specificity of training principle from exercise physiology in the context of motor skill acquisition.
