Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Scripts help children organize their experiences and make predictions about everyday events, which can ultimately enhance their memory and understanding.

Answer: A
 Cluttering long-term memory with irrelevant information can make it more difficult to retrieve important information and memories, as well as hinder the effectiveness of cognitive processes.

Answer: C
 Highly distinctive memories are often easier to recall because they stand out from other memories. Scripts that can cause confusion, especially in the context of distinctive events, may interfere with memory recall.

Answer: D
 Scripts facilitate the recall of specific instances of repeated experiences by providing a mental framework within which these events can be categorized and stored in long-term memory.
