ASemantic memory
BEpisodic memory
CProcedural memory
DMeta memory ✓ Correct
Correct answer: (D) Meta memory — Awareness of one's own memory and how to improve it is meta memory, so that is the answer.
Explanation
★Awareness of one's own memory and how to improve it is meta memory, so that is the answer.
★Meta memory is knowing about one's own memory, its strengths, limits and best strategies.
★So it includes knowing how to store and retrieve information more effectively.
★Semantic memory is the store of general facts, not this awareness of the memory system.
★Episodic memory is the store of personal events, and procedural memory the store of skills.
★Since only meta memory names this awareness of one's memory processes, the other choices do not fit.
