Transcript text: Using different neural networks to simultaneously encode the sights, sounds, and smells of a remembered football game best illustrates
(A) distributed practice.
(B) implicit memory
(C) parallel processing.
(D) chunking.
Solution
Answer
The answer is (C) parallel processing.
Explanation
Option (A): Distributed practice
Distributed practice refers to a learning strategy where practice is broken up into a number of short sessions over a longer period of time. This is not related to encoding multiple sensory inputs simultaneously.
Option (B): Implicit memory
Implicit memory involves unconscious memory processes, such as skills and conditioned responses. It does not specifically relate to the simultaneous encoding of different sensory inputs.
Option (C): Parallel processing
Parallel processing is the ability of the brain to simultaneously process incoming stimuli of differing quality. It is the brain's natural mode of information processing for many functions, including vision, where it processes color, motion, shape, and depth simultaneously. This concept best fits the scenario of encoding sights, sounds, and smells at the same time.
Option (D): Chunking
Chunking is a memory strategy that involves grouping information into larger, more manageable units. It is not related to the simultaneous processing of different types of sensory information.
