Which of the following is NOT the case in terms of serial and parallel processing models?
A. The serial processing model is now known to be inadequate, or at least incomplete B. The serial model has been replaced, at or at least modified, firstly by the parallel processing model and then, most recently, by the recurrent processing model C.
