DRehearsal, fixation and recitation of material
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. Encoding, storage and retrieval of information
1. The chapter defines memory as a three-stage process operating on any incoming information.
2. Stage one is encoding, where information is registered so it becomes usable.
3. Stage two is storage, where the encoded information is held over time.
4. Stage three is retrieval, where stored information is brought back to awareness.
5. So the canonical triad is encoding, storage and retrieval.
