Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Josiah is using dual coding by combining visual (writing the note on sheet music and labeling it) and auditory (playing the note on the piano) information to help remember the notes of the C major scale. This approach uses two channels of processing (visual and auditory), which enhances memory retention.
