Question 30
Iconic memory is a type of sensory memory that deals with visual information and lasts for a very short time (a momentary mental image of the zip code here). Flashbulb memory is for emotionally significant events, echoic is for auditory, state - dependent is about memory retrieval based on state, and implicit is unconscious memory. So the correct answer is related to iconic memory.
Retroactive interference occurs when new information (new locker combination) interferes with the recall of old information (bicycle lock combination). Proactive interference is old interfering with new, automatic processing is unconscious processing, encoding failure is not getting info into memory, and source amnesia is forgetting the source of a memory. So the correct answer is about retroactive interference.
Explicit memory is conscious memory of factual information (like facts, events). Implicit is unconscious, procedural is for skills, iconic is sensory visual memory, and proactive is a type of interference. So the correct answer is explicit memory.
