Binding items and context to create memories

Question 7

Attention may modify input to

Answer 7

Hippocampus

Question 8

Which is often easier to remember, pictures or words

Pictures

Question 9

What types of words are easier to remember

Answer 9

Mentally imageable words (concrete words)

Question 10

What’s dual code theory

Answer 10

An image plus a verbal code produces a richer memory trace
