Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Missa's demonstration is related to the spreading activation model, which proposes that activation spreads through the network along the connections between related concepts. The basketball net on her head visually represents the interconnectedness of concepts in the semantic network. The demonstration does not relate to the encoding specificity principle, which is concerned with the match between the context of encoding and the context of retrieval. Therefore options C and D can be eliminated. Although the multiple memory system model proposes that different types of memory are processed and stored in different brain regions, it is not relevant to the demonstration given by Missa, eliminating option A.
