BSchemas
CEpisodic memory
DImplicit memory ✓ Correct
Correct answer: (D) Implicit memory
Explanation

Implicit memory is knowledge we do not consciously recall yet which influences our behaviour or thought without our awareness.

It shows itself through skills, habits and automatic responses rather than deliberate remembering.

Explicit memory, by contrast, involves the conscious, intentional recall of facts and events.

Schemas are organised mental frameworks that structure knowledge, not a form of unconscious memory.

Episodic memory is the explicit recall of personally experienced events in time and place.

Implicit and explicit memory are the two broad divisions of long-term memory.
