A biology teacher wants students to remember the various components of a cell nucleus, cytoplasm, cell membrane).Considering what research tells us about encoding and retrieval, the teacher would be well advised to help students encode information about the cell:
A)Primarily in a visual form, because visual images usually remain vivid in memory for a long period of time
B)Primarily in a verbal form, because language underlies much of human learning
C)In both visual and verbal forms, because multiple forms of encoding increase the likelihood of retrieval
D)In a relatively unencoded form for a few days, to allow for greater flexibility in encoding later on

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Research has shown that encoding information in multiple forms (e.g. both visually and verbally) increases the likelihood of retrieval. Therefore, the biology teacher should encourage students to encode information about the cell in both visual and verbal forms. This will provide students with the greatest chance of remembering the various components of a cell in the long-term.
