Question

To help himself remember the name of his new colleague, Hope, Jose thinks about the meaning of her name—the feeling of hopefulness. Which of the following concepts best corresponds to Jose’s strategy?
a. Chunkingb. Longterm Potentiationc. Semantic Encodingd. Self-Referencee. Imagery

Answer 1

Hey there!

Your answer is b. semantic encoding.

Semantic encoding is to remember something by relating it to the meaning of something rather than the actual sound or structure of it. He is relating her name, hope, to the feeling of hopefulness.

Chunking is breaking something up into smaller parts, long term potentiation is remembering by repetition, self-reference is relating something to yourself to remember it, and imagery is using mental pictures to remember.

Hope this helps!
