Question

magine you are driving to a friend’s new house. In your mind, you say the address repeatedly until you arrive. Once you arrive, you stop thinking about the address and start to think about buying a housewarming gift for your friend. To remember the address, you used a(n) _______ process in STM.

Answer 1

Answer:

You used a control process in STM (short-term memory).

Explanation:

The control process occurs within the short-term memory. It is a way of regulating information flow and prioritize it. Short-term memory usually lasts between 15-30 minutes unless it passes to the long-term memory.

In this case, the priority was getting to the friend's house so his/her address was fresh in the individual's mind. Once the individual arrives, remembering the address is no longer a priority so he/she starts thinking about something else.
