Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Clarice's action of pressing Ctrl and S keys on her keyboard to save a document is most analogous to the process of storage in memory because it involves retaining information in a more permanent form (like saving a file on a computer's hard drive), just like in memory where information is stored for later retrieval. Encoding refers to the process of putting new information into memory, retrieval refers to the process of accessing stored information in memory, and interference refers to the disruption of memory retention or retrieval due to the presence of other competing materials. None of these options closely match Clarice's action of saving a document.
