what is a good definition of encoding failure to put on the actual ap?
That’s something you would have to craft, but I would say “Encoding failure is when you fail to put something into your longterm memory.”
great!! thank you!
No body bothers to learn exactly what a penny looks like (unless they collect coins). That’s why most of us miss a puzzle like this (below)…we don’t need to bother with the details. We don’t encode them.
