Question

Participants answering questions about geography might erroneously claim that San Diego, California, is farther west than Reno, Nevada, when in fact Reno is farther west. This example suggests that spatial information is sometimes stored in:_________.

1. short-term memory using a perceptual code.
2. short-term memory as propositions.
3. long-term memory as propositions.
4. long-term memory using a perceptual code.

Answer 1

3. long-term memory as propositions.

Step-by-step explanation:

Long-term memory can be described as the storage of information over an extended period. This means that, it is obviously enough, intended for storage of information over a long period of time.

It is very important because it helps to store and recall information for later use.

It should be noted that, the hippocampus is regarded as the catalyst for long-term memory, but the actual memory traces are encoded at various places in the cortex.

Proposition is simply the smallest unit of information that can be judged true or false.

In this case, the response of the participants was based on the information that have been stored in their memories for a long time which they thought to be the correct answer.

Answer 2

Answer:3. long-term memory as propositions.

Explanation: Following are part of segments in a long-term memory. a) Semantic memory is stored (as propositions, images, and schemas) for meaning. b) Propositions and propositional networks. (1) Proposition - refers to very tiny unit of information that can be either true or false.2) Propositional network - refers to how these units of information are interconnected.
