Question

During her psychology test, Kelsey could not remember the meaning of the term proactive interference. Surprisingly, however, she accurately remembered that the term appeared on the fourth line of a left-hand page in her textbook.
Her memory of this incidental information is best explained in terms of _________.

Answer 1

Answer:

Automatic Processing.

Explanation:

Automatic processing can be said to be any information that occurs involuntarily and without conscious intent or charge. It is a sequence of cognitive activities that is simultaneously initiated in response to an input i.e without active control. It does not really require you to pay any serious attention to it before responding sharply to the stimulus. This was the case of Kelsey in the scenario above, helping her remember the said word, making automatic processing resourceful.
