Answer to Problem 1MM
Correct answer: A psychologist who asks you to write down as many objects as you can remember having seen a few minutes earlier is testing your recall.
Explanation of Solution
The first stage includes encoding information in some form such as picture or sound. The second stage includes the storage of information so that it can be recalled at later stage. The retention of information at a later stage includes three measures- recall, recognition, and relearning. Recall is the process to retrieve information that was learned earlier and is not currently in the conscious mind. If a person has seen some objects and, asked to remember and write as many objects, it is called recalling information that was learned earlier.
