Question

question 20
whats the most likely explanation for the inability to remember someones name after youve met them?
the name was never encoded.
anterograde amnesia
proactive interference
the probe for the name is weak

Explanation:

Encoding is the first - step in memory. If a name is not encoded, it cannot be retrieved. Anterograde amnesia is a severe memory disorder usually due to brain damage. Proactive interference involves old information interfering with new. A weak probe for the name is less likely than non - encoding as the primary cause for immediate non - recall after meeting someone.

Answer:

The name was never encoded
