Which measure of memory retention assesses the ability to draw information out of storage and into conscious awareness?
VARVARA [1.3K]

Answer:

Recall

Explanation:

Memory has 3 main processes:

  1. Encoding
  2. Storage
  3. Recall

Encoding refers to transform the information our senses are receiving to decoded information that will be stored in the brain.

Storage refers to the process that follows encoding and it refers to the actual  process of placing the information into memory (either short-term or long-term).

Recall refers to the process of retrieving the information that was encoded and stored earlier. Recall takes information from the past and brings it back to our present attention.

Therefore <u>the ability to draw information out of storage and into conscious awareness is done by the recalling process of memory retention. </u>

What role did science play in the lives of maya and aztec
8_murik_8 [283]

Mayans had many breakthroughs in astronomy and mathematics. Priest studied the sky with observatories. They were able to track the movement of stars and planets with great accuracy. The Mayans used their observations to calculate the solar year. The Mayan figure for their year of 365.2420 days is amazingly precise.These calculations allowed the Mayas to create their solar calendar of 365  days. They also had a sacred 260-day calendar. Every 52 years, the first date in  both calendars fell on the same day. This gave the Mayas a longer unit of time that they called a Calendar Round. For the  ancient Mayas, this 52-year period was something like what a century is to us. The Mayas also recognized the need for zero.

One of the Aztecs’ most  remarkable technological achievements was the construction of their island city Tenochticlan. the aztecs enlarge the area of the city by creating artificial islands called chinampas. Today many people visit those chinampas and their flowers vendors. The aztecs adapted the Mayan solar and sacred calendars. The calendar was useful for farming , since it tracked the seasons. One of the most famous Aztec artifacts is a calendar called the Sun Stone. Dedicated to the god of the sun, this  beautifully carved stone is nearly twelve feet wide and weighs almost twenty-five tons. The center shows the face of the  sun god.
