| Gestalt theory says, “The whole is greater than the sum of its parts.” How does this axiom apply to the human brain? (Points : 1) |
[removed] The human brain cannot process all types of information.
[removed] Humans process multiple bits of information to make a meaningful whole.
[removed] The human brain can break down a meaningful whole into meaningless parts.
[removed] It takes many sensory events to produce one meaningful thought.

[removed] A weak memory circuit in long-term storage outperforms a recent memory.
[removed] A recent memory outperforms a strong memory circuit in long-term storage.
[removed] A strong memory circuit in long-term storage outperforms a less-frequently used memory circuit.
