Question

b) the spacing effect
c) source amnesia
d) mood-congruent memory

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is c) source amnesia .

Explanation:

This type of amnesia is directly related to the functioning of explicit memory and the aforementioned disconnection is presumed to be the result of a dissociation between semantic and episodic memory.
