Question

Which of the following is most like an example of the influence of implicit memory?

a. Alexander was taking a true–false test. He didn’t know the answer to Question 12, so he skipped it.
b. Bill could not remember the answer for the question, but he did his best to reconstruct what the answer might be.
c. Marcus was taking a multiple-choice test. He was having a hard time with Question 17, but Option D for that question seemed familiar, so he decided that D must be the correct answer.
d. Not only did Dave remember the answer, he also remembered where the answer appeared on the textbook page.

Answer 1

An example of the influence of implicit memory is c) Marcus was taking a multiple-choice test. He was having a hard time with Question 17, but Option D for that question seemed familiar, so he decided that D must be the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Implicit memory is a type of memory in which we perform a skill, a habit or solve a problem without remembering exactly how to do it, but we unconsciously establish an association with a particular environment stimulus and unconsciously know what to do but without remember exactly the process, we just perform it.

An example of this is when we listen to a song and unconsciously start singing it without noticing the song was being played.
