Fifteen-year-old matt and his father are in an electronics store looking at video game systems. matt gives his father a complete breakdown of the pros and cons of each of the different video game systems on display. according to research on encoding processes, matt is able to accurately recall all this information because he . has shallowly processed this information. b. has deeply processed this information. c. has processed this information at an intermediate level. d. used non-linguistic encoding processes.

B. has deeply processed this information.                    

Explanation:

Encoding processes: This is the very first step that is involved in creating and processing a piece of new memory. Encoding starts from the perception of a particular stimulus through the sense organs and is considered to be a biological event. The perceived stimulus is then converted into a construct to be stored in the brain and can be recalled whenever required from the long-term as well as short-term memory.

The important areas of encoding memory includes:

1. Semantic encoding.

2. Acoustic encoding.

3. Visual encoding.

According to research on encoding processes, Matt can accurately recall all this information because he has deeply processed the information regarding the video game systems.

as university of miami psychologists debra lieberman and adam smith pointed out in a recent article in the journal current directions in psychological science, humans have social and psychological mechanisms to deter incest. with very few exceptions, marriages between brothers and sisters and between parents and their children are verboten in every human culture. the primary psychological anti-incest mechanism is the yuck response. even the idea of sex with their mom or dad, bro or sis is upsetting to most people. the psychologist jonathan haidt has found that nearly everyone is repelled by the prospect of brother-sister sex, even in hypothetical situations in which there is no chance of pregnancy).

the biological cost of incest

this raises an interesting question: just what’s so bad about incest? sure, having sex with your dad or your sister seems gross — but why? some anthropologists have argued that incest taboos are learned social conventions. this explanation, however, doesn’t make sense to me as it does not explain the widespread existence of anti-incest mechanisms in creatures ranging from cockroaches to chimpanzees. second, the incest taboo is about as close to a universal law as human moral rules get.

why should mechanisms to avoid incest be so widespread both in nature and across human societies? the answer is simple. the problem with having sex close with relatives is that there is an astonishingly high chance that your offspring will be born with a serious birth defect.

the invasive species was introduced due to commercial purpouses, as there was a demand for fur clothes and hence, a business opportunity connected to this product. actually, it was when the nutrias scaped, causing harm to the us ecosystems when they acquired the status of invasive species. in this case they have caused an environmental problem, but it could have affected also economic interests or even human health.
