00:01 So for number one, the correct answer is going to be a for the phonological loop, since our loop is responsible for temporary storage and rehearsal of verbal information.

00:13 For number two, i'm going to say that the answer is b.

00:17 When new memories are incorporated into existing, those connections influence how our new memory is recalled.

00:24 The organization of our influence the retrieval and the recall of information.

00:33 For three, the correct answers are a and b.

00:38 The mere exposure effect suggests that repeated exposure to a stimulus can lead to increased liking or familiarity...
