Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Reba's actions of holding and pointing a stick after seeing her uncle point a rifle at a target demonstrate deferred imitation, which is a type of event memory that involves the ability to imitate an action that was observed at an earlier time. It is not sensory memory, short-term or working memory, or deliberate memorization with strategic planning.
