Answer 2

Answer:

D. if you take the test on the same route where you practiced

Explanation:

Memories are acquired under the influence of a particular dopaminergic, noradrenergic, serotonergic, or betaendorfinic brain "tone" and a parallel hormonal "tone". These modulators and hormones often facilitate the formation of memories by acting on specific mechanisms in the brain areas that make them and, to some extent, incorporate information into them. Within this context are context-dependent memories, which are memories associated with things like odors, background music, and physical location. For this reason, we can conclude that according to context-dependent memory theories, the best time to take a driving test is to texte on the same route you practiced, because your memory will associate the route with your test, this will make it harder for you to have driving errors.
