One way to improve memory is to use techniques that allow the information to be stored in more than one form. This is known as

A) binary encoding.
B) elaborative rehearsal.
C) flashbulb encoding.
D) dual coding.

Answer: D
Rationale: A number of mnemonic devices are based on the premise of dual coding. Dual coding occurs when information is stored in more than one form—such as a verbal description and a visual image, or a description and a sound—and it regularly produces stronger memories than the use of one form alone.
