Correct answer: (C) 1, 3 and 5 only

Explanation

Priming, classical conditioning effects and procedural memory are subdivisions of implicit memory.

Priming (1) speeds recognition of stimuli met before, without conscious recall.

Episodic memory (2) is explicit, storing conscious personal experiences.

Classical conditioning effects (3) form implicitly through learned associations.

Semantic memory (4) is explicit general knowledge, not implicit.

Procedural memory (5) holds skills performed without conscious thought.

Implicit memory is also called non-declarative memory, contrasted with explicit declarative memory.
