Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Aaron is using mental imagery, which involves creating a visual representation in the mind. He is picturing the human heart and labeling its parts, which is a form of encoding through mental imagery. Divided attention involves multitasking and switching between multiple tasks, serial position effect refers to the tendency to remember items at the beginning or end of a list better than items in the middle, and chunking involves grouping information together into meaningful chunks. None of these encoding processes apply to Aaron's scenario as described.
