Question

This chapter argues that the way the details of complex episodes are held together actually leads to errors. Which component of the connections leads to both the successes and errors of memory?

a.the length of the memory connections
b.the density of the memory connections
c.the strength of the memory connections
d.the size of the most important memory connection

Answer 1

The component of the connections that leads to both the successes and errors of memory is the density of the memory connections.

Explanation:

• For the memory connections that are weak in existence, we use the term 'thin' memory connections.
• The lower the density of the memory connection, the higher are the chances of exhibiting an error in the connection.
• When the density of the memory connection is good, the rate of success of the memory is automatically higher.
