Question

Isabel’s first car had a manual stick shift. After many years of driving an automatic car, she needs to use her sister’s car, which also has a stick shift. Isabel takes a few minutes to get used to shifting gears. Which memory system is she using to recall this information?
A.episodic memory
b.procedural memory
c.semantic memory
d.sensory memory

Answer 1

Semantic memory is what I have come up with.

Answer 2

Answer:

Option C

Explanation:

Semantic memory is associated with recalling things that are general logic or considered as common sense/knowledge. Semantic memory is a long process memory that includes memory of general logic or knowledge.

For example - name of rivers, use of pen, lift etc.

Here in this case, using stick shift is a general knowledge and hence it falls in the category of semantic memory

Option C is correct
