D) priming.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The neural process of LTP (long-term potentiation) is responsible for the formation of lasting memories through repeated rehearsal or stimulation of certain neural pathways. ECT (electroconvulsive therapy) is a treatment for severe depression and other mental illnesses that involves electrical stimulation of the brain, but it does not play a role in memory formation. Encoding specificity refers to the idea that memories are more easily retrieved when the context of the retrieval matches the context of the original encoding, and priming is a phenomenon in which exposure to a stimulus influences a person's response to a subsequent stimulus.
