Question

Propositional representations suggest that information is stored in terms of its meaning rather than its exact physical or sensory form. Choices A, C, and D all support the idea that meaning (propositional content) is more readily remembered than specific sensory details (such as exact wording or visual details). However, choice B, which states that pictures are remembered better than words, suggests a dual-coding theory (where information is stored both as visual images and verbal units) rather than purely propositional representations, making it not evidence for propositional representations.
