William Is Interested in Understanding How Memory Works

question 363

Multiple Choice

William is interested in understanding how memory works. Specifically, he is fascinated by the fact that we seem to have so much difficulty remembering things that we intend to (e.g. material we're studying for an exam) , while at other times seem unable to forget things that we have no intention of remembering and indeed may actually prefer to forget (e.g. past failures) . He decides to join a lab at his University that studies memory to explore this interest. He discovers that several labs are studying memory, yet each one is approaching the topic slightly differently. One of the labs is studying memory from the biological level of analysis. Which of these factors would that lab be most likely to investigate, in terms of how they relate to memory?
