Okay, so this question is asking, which of the following is most likely to lead to semantic encoding of a list of words? a, thinking about how the words relate to your own life.
00:10
B, practicing the words for a single extended period.
00:14
C, breaking out the practice into relatively short sessions.
00:17
D, noticing where in a sentence the word appears.
00:21
And e, focusing on the number of vowels and consonants in the words.
00:26
Okay, so semantic encoding.
00:30
Is our keyword here.
00:31
In order to answer this question, we have to figure out what semantic encoding actually is.
00:37
So semantic encoding is the deepest processing type of encoding, which uses meaning rather than the sound or visual aspect of the item that you're trying to remember.
00:53
And because it's the deepest level of processing, study show that people who utilize semantic encoding when trying to memorize things have better memories, as opposed to acoustic encoding, which uses the sound to remember things, and then visual encoding, which is looking at something and remembering it visually.
01:18
So now we know that, we could take a look at the options that were given.
01:24
So when looking at the two, i'm looking at b and c because those are the kind of ones that stand out because they are somewhat related to a one another.
01:33
And this is what i mean.
01:34
When talking about single extended periods or breaking up into smaller periods or sessions, we're talking about a time interval when remembering information.
01:44
And this is really talking about maintenance rehearsal.
01:47
So maintenance rehearsal is how you enhance encoding...
