Semantic encoding refers to encoding information based on its meaning. Paul is relating the new information (important terms) to his past experiences and knowledge, which is a way of associating the new information with meaning. This is an example of semantic encoding. Visual imagery encoding involves forming mental images of information, organization encoding involves grouping information into categories, and chunking involves breaking information into smaller chunks to aid in memory. These strategies are not mentioned in the scenario provided.
