Question

Your memory of how to drive a car is contained in ....................... memory.

• A. declarative
• B. episodic
• C. procedural
• D. structural

Answer 1

Answer:

C. procedural

• Procedural memory: Stores information about how to do things, such as driving a car, brushing your teeth, or swimming. It's a type of nondeclarative memory, which means it's the nonconscious acquisition of motoric sequences. 

• Implicit memory: Includes procedural memory and things learned through conditioning. 

• Declarative memory: Stores information about the route you have to take to get somewhere. 

Procedural memory allows us to perform ordinary tasks without having to think about them.
