Questions: Question Completion Status: QUESTION 8 Which of the following is associated with better long term memory for a specific event? the continued importance of the event to urs the distinctiveness or uniqueness of the event the emotional intensity of the event all of the above QUESTION 9

The answer is all of the above.

Events that remain important to us over time are more likely to be remembered because they are frequently revisited in our thoughts. This repeated retrieval strengthens the memory trace, making it more durable.

Distinctive or unique events are easier to remember because they stand out from other experiences. The distinctiveness effect suggests that unusual or rare events are more likely to be encoded and retrieved effectively.

Emotionally intense events are often remembered better due to the role of emotions in enhancing memory consolidation. The amygdala, a brain region involved in processing emotions, interacts with memory-related areas to strengthen the encoding of emotional experiences.

All of these factors contribute to better long-term memory for a specific event, making "all of the above" the correct choice.
