Question

A researcher gives participants a list of words referring to concrete objects (e.g., car, apple, box). She tells the first group of participants to form a vivid mental image of each object. She tells the second group to think of a story using all the words from the list. Both groups then complete a memory test. What concept is the researcher most likely testing with the first group of participants?

Answer 1

Hello, do you notice how she instructs them to "create a vivid mental picture"? I think visual encoding might be your response.

Visual coding relates to the method through which we retain visual images, according to alley dog.com.

I believe your solution is visual encoding.

Thank you for your patience and have a great day!
