semantic
acoustic
sensory
visual

Explanation:

Analyze the scenario

Using the Memory Encoding Types knowledge point
Malik is trying to memorize lines by writing them out and changing the physical appearance of the words (using capital letters like "I AM NOT HERE" and "OTHER WHERE"). This technique focuses on the visual look and structural features of the written text.

Identify the type of encoding

Using the Memory Encoding Types knowledge point

• Visual encoding is the process of encoding images and visual sensory information, such as the physical appearance of words (e.g., capitalization, font, or bolding).
• Acoustic encoding is the encoding of sounds, words, and music (how they sound).
• Semantic encoding is the encoding of meaning, including the meaning of words.
• Sensory encoding is a broader term for how sensory receptors register stimuli, but is not one of the three primary types of cognitive memory encoding (visual, acoustic, semantic) used in this context.

Since Malik is altering the visual presentation of the letters to help him remember, he is utilizing visual encoding.

Answer:

• semantic
• acoustic
• sensory
• visual (Correct answer)
