The crusade against alcohol was a protest by women, in part, of their lack of civil rights. Women could not vote. In most states women could not have control of their property or custody of their children in case of divorce. There were no legal protections for women and children, prosecutions for rap were rare, and the state-regulated "age of consent" was as low as seven. Most local political meetings were held in saloons from which women were excluded. At the end of the 19th century Americans spent over a billion dollars on alcoholic beverages each year, compared with $900 million on meat, and less than $200 million on public education.

___ processing occurs when there is no necessary involvement of conscious awareness (e.g., typing on the keyboard without lookin

pogonyaev

Answer: Implicit; explicit

Explanation: When it comes to typing without looking at the keyboard, it means that some previous experiences are being used which is why it is said to take place without the need for conscious awareness, then it is implicit processing. It is actually the use of automatic memory, as this processing is otherwise called, when past experiences are used no matter how long they have not been used. Implicit processing i.e automatic learning is like cycling, swimming or driving a car, once learned it can always be repeated even after a long time.

Explicit processing is also the so-called explicit memory, which involves the conscious processing of information and its memorisation, therefore it uses conscious awareness. This means that learning and gathering information is not automatic as in implicit processing, but is fully conscious. In aforementioned car driving, the driving skill itself is related to automatic, implicit memory, while the memory of a particular driving lesson is associated with explicit memory, i.e processing.
