Which type of encoding is this question designed to prompt?
A) Semantic encoding
B) Visual encoding

D) Simultaneous encoding

Answer 1

The answer is Visual Encoding

Step-by-step explanation:

I just took the test and when you look it up online as examples of visual encoding it pops up with a response that says: "Visual Encoding refers to the process by which we remember visual images. For example, if you are presented a list of words, each shown for one second, you would be able to remember if there was a word that was written in all capital letters, or if there was a word written in italics."

Answer 2

There are four types of memory encoding: semantic, visual, acoustic and simultaneous. Mnemonic uses abbreviations or shortening of words, visual relates to the use of images, acoustic use the auditory stimuli and semantic uses the context of an object to remember something else. The answer here is A. semantic encoding
