Question

Khalid Manasra · Accepted Answer

Final Answer : C, Explanation :  The dual-code hypothesis suggests that memory is enhanced when information is processed through both a visual (picture) and linguistic (words) code. Thus, memory for pictures should be better than memory for words. Option A (Ebbinghaus' curve of forgetting) describes the rate at which information is forgotten over time without rehearsal; option B (the Atkinson-Shiffrin theory) describes the stages of memory (sensory, short-term, and long-term); option D (parallel distributed processing) is a cognitive theory that describes how information is processed and represented in the brain, but it does not specifically address memory for pictures versus words.

According to _____, memory for pictures is better than memory for words.

A) Ebbinghau's curve of forgetting
B) the Atkinson-Shiffrin theory
C) the dual-code hypothesis
D) parallel distributed processing (PDP)
