Twenty-five years from now, Breanna is on Jeopardy. One of the answers is "This person was the 44th president of the United States of America." Breanna says confidently, "Who was Barack Obama?" and is correct. To "answer" the "question," Breanna has to use what part of her memory?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Breanna used her semantic memory, which is responsible for storing general knowledge and facts, to recall the information about who the 44th president of the United States was. This type of memory is not tied to personal experiences (like episodic memory) or motor skills (like procedural memory). The answer is not D (implicit memory) because implicit memory refers to unconscious memories that are often related to skills and habits, and it is not relevant to the question asked on Jeopardy.
