Question

multiple choice question
ariadna tried to remember her grocery list, but she was only able to remember eggs and butter (which were listed at the top) and juice and cereal (which were listed at the bottom). this illustrates

parallel distributed processing.

context - dependent memory.

the serial position effect.

the encoding specificity principle.

Explanation:

The serial position effect refers to the tendency to recall items at the beginning (primacy effect) and end (recency effect) of a list better than those in the middle. Ariadna remembered items at the top (beginning) and bottom (end) of her grocery list, which matches this effect. Parallel distributed processing is about neural network - like processing, context - dependent memory depends on the context of encoding/retrieval, and encoding specificity principle is about matching encoding and retrieval contexts, none of which fit here.

Answer:

C. the serial position effect
