Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The scenario describes a situation where the baby actively searches for and retrieves information from memory with a specific cue (searching for the lost toy bear), which is a characteristic of recall memory. Recognition memory works differently in that it requires the presentation of stimuli for the individual to identify them as familiar or not. Implicit memory refers to the unconscious retention of information, while sensory memory refers to the brief retention of sensory experiences before they are processed further.
