Answer 1

Answer:

This situation is an example of increasing cognitive memory.

Explanation:

This is an example of an embodied practice to promote the effectiveness of the cognitive process. Gregersen and MacIntyre, based their studies in the notion that “TL comprehension can be improved by grounding it in action, learners can evoke sensorimotor experience through embodied cognition; by creating mnemonic devices for remembering names”. One example they used was to add an adjective that started with the same letter as the name.
