Level 1 · Warm-up

1 Which memory stage does a buzzing phone on your desk attack?
Show worked solution
Encoding — attention is its entry fee, and notifications keep taking it back.
2 The connections between neurons, whose strength stores memories, are called…
Show worked solution
Synapses — learning changes their strength; that change IS the stored memory.

Level 2 · Core

3 Making a silly mental image to remember a dry fact exploits which encoding preference?
