27

Compare the different accounts of memory given in Passages I and II.

Passage I

A

suggests that our ability to remember is independent of our environment; Passage II suggests that the
capacity of memory is determined by the nature of the event which is to be remembered.

B

considers all memory as accessible in theory, but in practice subject to limitations; Passage II
acknowledges theoretical limitations on memory, but sees no practical restraints.

C

considers the capacity to remember as subject to individual variations in intelligence and creativity;
Passage II asserts that all people have an equal capacity to remember.

D

considers that the main problem with memory is to distinguish relevant from irrelevant information;
Passage II sees storage of information as the only difficulty.
