"Natural" memories, for which strategies are unlikely to be applied, include ____ memories.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Autobiographical and event memories are considered natural memories because they are often formed without intentional strategies or effortful encoding. These memories are based on personal experiences and emotions, making them more deeply encoded and easier to recall without conscious effort. Semantically organized and short-term memories can still benefit from strategic encoding, and encoded and retrieved memories are not necessarily "natural" as they may be intentionally processed and retrieved. Short- and long-term memories also may be subject to intentional processing and strategies.
