Sabrina had been studying all night for her Psychology exam. When she finally sat down to take it, her mind went blank. She was so frustrated! All night she had repeated the definitions of terms over and over again, using flash cards and her notes to quiz herself on the material. She even memorized an acronym for one of the concepts, called OCEAN. She remembered how in class her professor had taught her this little trick using a picture of the word next to a whale in a party hat, and she thought the picture was adorable. Unfortunately, she was too distracted thinking about all of the errands she had to run after class and never caught what the first letter of the acronym stood for. She remembered there were 5 letters: C was for Conscientiousness, E for Extroversion, A for Agreeableness, and N for Neuroticism. Sabrina looked out her window in frustration, noticing that the store across the street had a neon OPEN sign. “That’s it!” she thought excitedly, “O is for Openness!” Sabrina would get this question right on the test for sure.
Sabrina was experiencing when she couldn’t remember the first letter of the acronym, but could remember the others.
