Select ALL processes or influences that the material associates with encoding.

### Why this is right - **Attention** contributes to selecting and processing information during encoding. - **Sensory input** supplies information that can be encoded. - **Association with existing knowledge** helps connect incoming information to what is already known. ### The concept Encoding is the initial processing of sensory information into a memorable form. It is influenced by what is attended to, what enters through the senses, and how new information connects with existing knowledge. Descending pain modulation belongs to pain processing, not the stated encoding list. ### The other options - **D. Descending modulation of pain**: This describes brain pathways that influence pain intensity, not a factor listed for memory encoding. ### Terms - **Encoding**: Processing sensory information into a memorable form. - **Descending pathway**: A pathway carrying influence from the brain toward lower neural structures. ### Remember For encoding, look for attention, sensory input, and association with prior knowledge.
