Adam is a professional writer. He has an above-average typing rate, but can’t recall the exact locations of letters on the keyboard. Which type of memoryis Adam experiencing?

Respuesta :

The correct answer is implicit memory

Explanation:  Implicit Memory is the memory for procedures and skills, for example, the ability to drive, play ball, tie the shoelace and tie.

It can be of four subtypes.

memory acquired and evoked by means of "tips" (Priming) (or memory of perceptual representation) - which corresponds to the image of an event, preliminary to the understanding of what it means. An object, for example, can be retained in this type of implicit memory before we know what it is, what it is for, etc. It is considered that memory can be evoked by means of "tips" (fragments of an image, the first word of a poetry, certain gestures, smells or sounds).

procedural memory - refers to skills and habits. We know the movements necessary to knot a garvata, swim, drive a car, without having to describe it verbally.

associative memory

non-associative memory - These last two are strictly related to some type of response or behavior. We use associative memory, for example, when we begin to salivate simply by looking at an appetizing food, for having, at some point in our life, its appearance or smell associated with food. On the other hand, we use non-associative memory when, without realizing it, we learn that a repetitive stimulus, for example, a dog's bark, does not pose risks, which makes us relax and ignore it.
