Answer 1

Answer:

Option C. To enhance memory and ensure maximum retention, one should focus on the meaning of the information and relate it to what one knows.

Explanation:

According to the levels-of-processing theory, recall depends on the degree to which information is initially processed, hence to enhance memory and ensure maximum retention, one should focus on the meaning of the information and relate it to what one knows. The theory, identified by psychologists Fergus Craig, and Robert Lockhart in 1972, states that deeper levels of analysis produces longer term memories, while a more superficial level of analysis will most likely produce a short-term memory. This is why, they state, when trying to memorize something it is always important to focus on understanding the meaning of it and not to  use repetition or visualization methods.
