Last semester Raul studied abroad in Spain. When his history teacher began lecturing on Spain, many of Raul's memories were simultaneously activated: bull fights, tasty sangria, and flamenco dancers. This example best illustrates the model of memory.
a. maintenance rehearsal
b. encoding specificity
c. parallel distributed processing
d. transfer-appropriate processing

option c => parallel distributed processing

Explanation:

Parallel distributed processing deals with how information and memories are being stored and retrieved. The concept of parallel distributed processing is very important in Psychology and artificial intelligence because it describes how human brain is capable of processing and retrieving many information and memories at the same time.

In the question above we can see that Raul's brain was capable to retrieve all his memories back simultaneously, so this model of memory is known as parallel distributed processing.

 c. parallel distributed processing  

Explanation:

In neurology and psychology, the parallel distributed processing is a model of cognition that states that our cognitive processess are the result of an activation flowing through networks that are linked together. In other words, memories are created over a pattern of activation that is interconnected and that act in parallel ways with one another.

This means that when we are faced with a particular stimulus, this stimulus can trigger other similar memories that we created at the same time and that come to our memory since they became interrelated or "tangled" in our brain.

In this example, Raul studied abroad in Spain. When his teacher begins lecturing on Spain, many of Raul's memories are activated (bull fights, sangrias, flamenco dancers). We can see that when he is faced with this particular stimulus (his teacher lecturing on Spain), it triggers other similar memories that he created during his time there since they are all interrelated and in parallel with one another. Thus this illustrates the parallel distributed processing model of memory.

d is the correct answer.

b is incorrect because it makes food by itself

c is incorrect because us humans don't know how to produce their own food using the sun like plants.

a is incorrect because consumers can depend on carnivores for eating food for consumers to eat the dead organism. same thing with omnivores.

yes i would go with c
