ARetrieval

BEncoding

CStorage

DDecoding

Answer:

A. Retrieval

Read Explanation:

In psychology, the process of getting information out of memory is called retrieval or recall. It is the final stage of memory, after encoding and retention. 

Memory is a system for processing information, and is often compared to a computer. The three main functions of memory are: 

  • Encoding: Inputting information into the memory system 

  • Storage: Retaining the encoded information 

  • Retrieval: Getting the information out of memory and back into awareness 

For a retrieval cue to be effective, it should match the desired target memory and the cue-target relationship should be distinctive.

A researcher is interested in fear and explicit memory. He recruits a sample of undergraduate students, divides them into three groups, and shows each group of participants a different video. Group A watches a neutral video that reliably induces boredom, group B watches a video that reliably induces mild fear, and group C watches a video that reliably induces overwhelming fear. The participants are tested a week later to determine how much of the video they are able to remember. Given the design of the study and what you know about emotion and memory, which group(s) probably remembers the most about the video ?
