Therefore, there is a big amount of duplication in this document. However, this is not necessarily a bad thing, as the Prescribed textbook states on pg. 189, that the notion of ‘relearning’ pertains to “the general finding that a shorter period is needed, or that a ‘saving’ occurs, when you learn some information or task a second time. This effect probably stems from the fact that some residual memory relating to your first learning experience still remains, and this may facilitate the subsequent learning of the same information so that it now becomes easier.” This document is compiled in chapter-sequence, instead of chronological order of the respective assignments and exams. This facilitates easier exam-reparation, as you can test yourself chapter-by-chapter as you go along, and not only once all the material has been studied. Please note that some questions refer to more than one chapter, i.e. some of the answers from Chapter 4 could also be found in Chapter 13. Therefore, it remains necessary to study the questions in this document under Chapter 4. Also note that this means that some questions may appear to be under the incorrect Chapter listed in the sequence below. Note that question numbers therefore do not relate to the papers it was asked in; it follows numerical order of this document. Please note: This document is an additional tool for exam preparation.
