Explanation:

Question 6

To solve this, we recall memory processes: Encoding is getting info into memory, storing is retaining, priming is implicit memory effect, chunking is organizing info, registering is not a main memory term. So encoding matches.

Algorithms are step - by - step problem - solving procedures. Prototypes are category examples, heuristics are mental shortcuts, fixations are mental blocks, semantics is about meaning. So algorithms fit.

Semantic encoding involves relating new info to existing (preconceived) ideas. Iconic memory is visual, repression is Freudian, serial position is memory recall order, retroactive interference is new info interfering with old. So semantic encoding is correct.

Answer:

A) encoding
