VALENTINE'S DAY SCENARIO
Todd decides to propose marriage to his girlfriend on Valentine's Day. He wants this to be a very special day, so he decided to take her to a fancy restaurant. He is not sure about the choice of restaurant, and so he asks his boss, who often patronizes fancy restaurants, for suggestions. Though Todd doesn't have much experience in fine restaurants, he knows what to expect: he will give his car to the valet, be seated by the hostess, be given menus and a wine list, order, eat, pay the bill, and retrieve his car from the valet. On the big day, he goes to his girlfriend's apartment with a dozen roses in his hand and the ring in his pocket. He likes the restaurant his boss suggested, and thinks the food is really good, but finds the choice of background music odd. In his opinion, a fancy restaurant shouldn't be playing pop music. However, the rest of the night goes according to plan. He will always remember how beautiful his girlfriend looks and how happy they are when she accepts his proposal.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Echoic memory refers to the sensory memory of auditory information. Since Todd was exposed to pop music in the fancy restaurant, it is likely that the memory of the music is stored in his echoic memory. Iconic memory is sensory memory for visual information, episodic memory is for personal experiences, procedural memory is for learned skills and actions, and haptic memory is for touch sensations. None of these are relevant to Todd's experience of pop music in the restaurant.
