Consider an experiment in which participants were asked to remember Chinese symbols called radicals (which have no sound) and symbols called characters (which consist of a radical plus another symbol). The fact that the participants were able to remember some of the radicals provides evidence for the operation of______coding.a. semanticb. visual.c. auditory.d. abstract.

Answer 1

Answer:

b. visual                  

Explanation:

Visual coding: The term refers to the process of encoding visual and images of sensory information. In other words, a person can convert and store this new sensory information in the form of mental pictures and due to these mental pictures, a person remembers visual images.

Example: If a person is presented with a few words, then he or she will be better remember the word if that word is written in capital letters because visual information is fleeting and easily forgotten.

In the question above, the fact that the participants were able to remember some of the radicals provides evidence for the operation of visual coding.
