Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that acoustic encoding refers to the process of encoding information based on sound, especially the way it is heard or repeated aloud.
Review each option and identify whether it involves encoding information through sound or auditory repetition.
Recognize that 'memorizing a list of items by grouping them by category' is an example of semantic or organizational encoding, not acoustic.
Note that 'remembering a phone number by repeating it aloud to yourself' involves repeating sounds, which is a clear example of acoustic encoding.
Confirm that 'recalling the meaning of a vocabulary word' is semantic encoding and 'visualizing the layout of your childhood home' is an example of visual encoding, so they are not acoustic.
