They found that participants remembered an average of 80 percent of the groups after 3 seconds but only 10 percent after 18 seconds. They hypothesized that this decrease in performance was due to _____, but later research showed that it was actually due to _____.

a. interference; decay
b. priming; interference
c. decay; interference
d. decay; lack of rehearsal

Answer 1

The correct answer is c. decay; interference.

Step-by-step explanation:

When we believe that something is possible, our will receives a powerful discharge of positive energy, we place ourselves in an elevated position to have a good perspective, we jump over obstacles without difficulty and, moved by a strong personal conviction, we are heading towards our goal. If the mind believes in the possibility of success (communicating an idea efficiently, understanding someone, solving a problem ...), it automatically designs the path to reach it, visualizes and travels each stage again and again until it is formed a solid and lasting neural network.
