Which of the following are the laws of Memory in learning?
A. Law of perseverance
B. Law of inadequacy
C. Law of contiguity
D. Law of association
E. Law of incompatibility
Choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
A, C and D only
The 'Laws of Memory' describe how memory traces are formed, strengthened, and connected in the mind. Among the given options, three are genuine, recognized laws of memory:
Law of Perseverance (Perseveration) - a memory impression, once formed, tends to persist and repeat itself mentally for some time after the original experience, which helps consolidate it into lasting memory.
Law of Contiguity - things or events experienced close together in time or space tend to become associated in memory, so recalling one brings the other to mind.
Law of Association - memories are linked to other related memories or ideas; recalling one item triggers the recall of associated items, forming the basis of most memorization techniques.
'Law of inadequacy' and 'Law of incompatibility' (options B and E) are not established principles in the psychology of memory; they are distractor terms with no recognized basis in memory theory.
Since only A (Perseverance), C (Contiguity), and D (Association) are genuine laws of memory, the correct answer is A, C and D only.
