Understand the context: The problem is about a cognitive process that occurs when students share their names with Ms. Randall.
Identify the key concept: The process involves taking in new information, which is a fundamental aspect of memory.
Recall the stages of memory: Encoding, storage, and retrieval are the three main stages of memory processing.
Focus on encoding: Encoding is the process of converting information into a form that can be stored in memory. When students share their names, Ms. Randall is encoding this information.
Differentiate from other stages: Decoding is not a stage of memory, retrieval involves accessing stored information, and storage is about maintaining information over time. Therefore, the correct process here is encoding.
