Is the memory type "implicit" or "explicit" long-term memory, and if so, what specific type of implicit or explicit long-term memory?

A. Implicit; Procedural memory
B. Explicit; Episodic memory
C. Implicit; Semantic memory
D. Explicit; Declarative memory

Answer :

Final answer:

Implicit and explicit memory types are distinct in long-term memory. Implicit memory includes procedural memory and classical conditioning while explicit memory consists of declarative memory, including episodic and semantic memory. Therefore correct option a) Implicit; Procedural memory

Explanation:

Implicit memory is memory that is not part of our consciousness, formed from behaviors, and includes procedural memory and things learned through classical conditioning. On the other hand, explicit memory is consciously recalled and includes declarative memory, which is further divided into episodic memory (life events) and semantic memory (words, ideas, and concepts).
