Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Taryn's recall errors suggest that she encoded the original word list by meaning (semantically) rather than by sound (phonemically) or by visual characteristics (structurally). Proactive encoding refers to information that is already stored in memory and helps with the encoding of new information, but this does not apply in this scenario.
