Explanation:

Question 13

Long - term memory stores information for a long time, similar to a hard - drive which stores data persistently. A monitor is for display, a mouse is an input device, and random access memory (RAM) is for short - term data access during computer operation.

Declarative memory (like facts and events) needs conscious recall, while procedural memory (like how to ride a bike) is recalled unconsciously. Option A misdefines both; both declarative and procedural can be long - term (so B is wrong); both create engrams/traces (so D is wrong).

Declarative memory formation involves the hippocampus and the thalamus. An engram is a memory trace, not a brain structure. The striatum is related to procedural memory, and the amygdala to emotional memory.

Answer:

D. hard - drive
