Final answer:

Explicit memory is needed for writing using a pen and paper.

Step-by-step explanation:

The type of memory that would be needed for writing using a pen and paper is explicit memory. Explicit memory is the conscious remembering and recalling of information. When you write using a pen and paper, you are consciously remembering how to form letters, words, and sentences. This type of memory is different from implicit memory, which is unconscious and influences observable behaviors.
