Erika is building a Lego structure of two towers. She finds that she can only build them so high before they collapse. She then
remembers a cartoon she watched about how archways don't fall because of the keystone at the top of the arch, and so she rebuilds her towers that way. This time her towers stay upright. Erika has solved her problem by ____________________.
Explanation: The application of past theory, knowledge, lessons or ideas can be of immense use for solving present or future problems. Being able to retain and apply previously learnt knowledge or expertise could be attributed to the process of evoking memory from the past.
In the scenario above, after several failed attempts by Erika to construct two towers with her Lego due to height constraints. However, Erika was able to evoke memory and apply what she learnt about keystones and archways. Thus she was able to prevent her 'Lego constructed tower' from falling.
Erika solved her problem by activating memories from the past.
Explanation:
Erika is having problems with the Lego structure she is creating. She wants to solve this problem and for that reason, she starts to think about what could help her keep her structure stable, without collapsing.
At that moment, Erika, searched her memory, if she knew something that could help her, that's when she activated a memory from the past that showed that she watched a cartoon that showed something that could work. So, she managed to solve her problem.
