The encoding of many aspects of a remembered event simultaneously best illustrates our brain's capacity for

B) automatic processing.
C) distributed practice.
D) parallel processing.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Parallel processing refers to the ability of the brain to process multiple aspects of information simultaneously. When we remember an event, we are able to recall details about the people, objects, emotions, and environment that were all present at the same time. This demonstrates our brain's capacity for parallel processing. Massed practice and distributed practice refer to the scheduling of practice sessions and are not relevant to the encoding of memories. Automatic processing refers to the processing of information that occurs without conscious awareness, which is not necessarily related to the encoding of memories.
