Detailed explanation-1: -The correct answer is C. (Vividly recalling significant events like the 9/11 attacks on New York City and Washington, D.C.). Implicit, or non-declarative memories, are formed without us being aware of it.
Detailed explanation-2: -Some examples of implicit memory include knowing how to play the piano, ride a bike; tie your shoes and other motor skills. These skills involve procedural knowledge which involves “knowing how” to do things.
Detailed explanation-3: -Riding a bike is a popular example of implicit memory-even if you don’t ride a bike for years, if you learned how as a child, you’ll be able to hop on and ride years later without much effort.
Detailed explanation-4: -Implicit memory, sometimes called non-declarative memory, involves the way experiences affect our behaviors. Unlike explicit memory, which requires making a conscious effort to recall information, implicit memory operates unconsciously. A good example of implicit memory is driving, which is something you just do.
