One of the most effective ways to make our memory distinctive is to use :

  • A.Mental cues
  • B.Mental rehearsal
  • C.Mental imagery
  • D.Mental concentration

Answer: C

One of the most effective ways to make memory distinctive is mental imagery.

Forming vivid images makes items stand out and gives them a second code. Paivio's dual-coding theory explains why: concrete words that can be pictured are stored both verbally and as images, and are remembered better than abstract words. Bizarre or interactive images are especially memorable, which is why imagery underlies most mnemonic techniques.

Rehearsal maintains information but simple repetition does not make it distinctive. Cues help retrieval but do not create distinctiveness. Concentration aids attention, not the distinctiveness of the memory trace.
