Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Lisa's ability to make a generalization about Scratchy based on her previous knowledge about cats is an example of the parallel distributed processing model of memory, which suggests that information is stored in a network of interconnected nodes and activated when relevant information is presented. This allows for the retrieval and integration of previously learned information to make inferences and generalizations about new information.
