Question

Jason quickly scanned the map on his phone to get to his job interview, then took a left and ran down the block so he wouldn’t be late. According to Stokes, Jason’s ability to recall the directions as he’s running is the result of ________.

Answer 1

Answer: an activity state followed by a synaptic state.

Explanation:

Mark Stokes introduced the theory that short-term variations in the neural networks can be responsible for information being collected in the memory.

There´re two states involved in this process. First, during the activity state, when the person is working to memorize information, several neurons are activated. This leads to the next step, the synaptic state when neuron firing discontinues.
