Answer:

Preconscious information

Step-by-step explanation:

Preconscious information are information not stored in the conscious state but could easily be recalled or remembered when triggered by the right stimuli in the environment. Preconscious information are usually stored for a long term and could be recalled easily when triggered by the right cues. The term preconscious was coined by Sigmund Freud in his study of psychoanalysis.

Liz might have forgotten every other conscious information due to head injury but she was able to answer all these questions "What is the last thing you remember?" and "When were you born" correctly because they were stored and easily retrieved as preconscious information
