Question

Three year old micah made a friend at preschool today. When his parents asked him what his friend's name is, he thinks for a while and then says "jamal". What type of memory strategy is micah using?

Answer 1

The type of memory strategy which Micah uses is explicit memory.

Explicit memory is termed as long-term human memory. It affects both behaviours and thoughts. He is thinking about his friend's name.

The most common one is referred to as procedural memory. It allows people to do different tasks with certain awareness.

Implicit memory works together with declarative or explicit memory which is known as intentional recollection of certain information,conscious, concept, and previous experience.
