In Chapter 5 of Your Textbook, the Discussion of Encoding

question 67

Multiple Choice

In Chapter 5 of your textbook, the discussion of encoding specificity and level of processing emphasized that

• A) both encoding specificity and level of processing activate the visual cortex during processing, and this activation directly improves recall.
• B) recall is more accurate if the instructions during encoding match the instructions during remembering; this match may actually be more important than deep processing.
• C) the most important factor in determining recall is whether people processed the material using deep processing or shallow processing.
• D) encoding specificity is the most important factor in laboratory research on memory, whereas level of processing is the most important factor for everyday memory tasks.
