After his class returns from a field trip to the local historical museum, Mr. Cordova asks his students to write an essay describing the things they learned at the museum. Considering factors that influence memory storage, which one of the following effects should writing the essay have on what the students will later remember about the field trip?

  b. They will tend to confuse aspects of the trip with previous field trips that they've written about in other essays.
  c. Although they won't necessarily remember any more about the trip, what they do remember will tend to be remembered more as visual images than it might have been otherwise.
  d. Writing about the trip will enhance students' short-term memory of the trip, but it will not necessarily enhance their long-term memory of it.
