Exploring the Encoding Process in Memory

What is the initial phase of memory called?

• Retrieval

• Encoding

• Recognition

• Storage

Which type of processing involves focusing on the meaning of information?

• Semantic processing

• Shallow processing

• Organizational processing

• Deep processing

What does visual encoding rely on?

• Sequences

• Visual elements

• Sounds

• Textures

Which encoding strategy is most effective?

• Organizational encoding

• Semantic encoding

• Acoustic encoding

• Tactile encoding

Why is semantic encoding considered highly effective?

• It focuses on the meaning of information

• It uses sound elements for encoding

• It involves shallow processing

• It relies on visual elements

What is the spacing effect?

• Studying in a spaced-out physical environment

• Studying for long hours without breaks

• Distributing study sessions over time

• Cramming all study material in one session

Why is distributed practice more effective than mass practice?

• It requires less overall study time

• It is easier to manage

• It leads to overconfidence

• It improves long-term retention

What is rote rehearsal?

• Focusing on the meaning of information

• Linking new information to images

• Organizing information into groups

• Repeating information continuously

How does chunking help in encoding?

• By organizing information into meaningful groups

• By linking information to prior knowledge

• By focusing on visual elements

• By repeating information

What is a mnemonic device?

• A strategy for mass practice

• A tool for deep processing

• A technique for tactile encoding

• A method for linking images to information
