Implicit memory is tested by assessing how previous experiences facilitate performance on a task that does not require conscious or intentional recollection of those experiences. Option D, showing participants a longer list of words with several letters missing and asking them to complete the words, is a measure of implicit memory because it assesses how prior exposure influences their ability to complete or recognize the words without explicitly asking them to recall or recognize the words from the list they saw earlier.
