Question

You have been away attending college for three months. When you return home
for the winter break, your family dog, Gus, recognizes you as soon as you walk in
the door. Even though Gus has not seen you in a long time, he recognizes you
now because

- his brain is storing information about your appearance when he sees you.
- his brain is creating a mental video of you as you walk through the door.
- his brain is maintaining information about you at all times.
- his brain is retrieving information about your appearance that was
encoded the last time he saw you.

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is: his brain is retrieving information about your appearance that was encoded the last time he saw you.

Gus recognizes you as soon as you walk in the door because his brain has stored the information about your appearance from previous encounters. Dogs have the ability to remember and recognize familiar faces, scents, and other sensory information. When you return home after being away for three months, Gus's brain retrieves the stored information about your appearance and matches it with the sensory input he receives in the present moment, allowing him to recognize you.
