A biology teacher wants students to remember the various components of a cell (nucleus, cytoplasm, cell membrane). Considering what research tells us about encoding and retrieval, the teacher would be well advised to help students encode information about the cell:

Question

a. primarily in a visual form, because visual images usually remain vivid in memory for a long period of time.
b. primarily in a verbal form, because language underlies much of human learning.
c. in both visual and verbal forms, because multiple forms of encoding increase the likelihood of retrieval.
d. in a relatively unencoded form for a few days, to allow for greater flexibility in encoding later on.

Answer 1

c
