Question

question 20
most people will learn words from a foreign language better if they take time to understand the meaning of the words, as opposed to just rehearsing them.
this occurs because of procedural memory.
this occurs because of episodic memory.
this occurs because of iconic memory.
this occurs because of deep processing.

Explanation:

For the first - part, encoding is the process of getting information into memory. If there are issues with encoding, information may not be stored properly in the first place. For the second - part, deep processing involves thinking about the meaning of information, which leads to better memory retention compared to shallow rehearsal. Procedural memory is related to skills, episodic memory to personal events, and iconic memory to visual sensory memory, none of which are relevant here.

Answer:

The first correct option: This is most likely due to problems related to encoding.
The second correct option: This occurs because of deep processing.
