Question

in english class, edward learned what a metaphor is and how to identify it a story. edward knows how to differentiate it from other similar literary devices, understands its purpose and now includes metaphors in his papers for class. this new knowledge is stored as __________ memory; while a metaphor is an example of a __________, which is a mental representation. implicit; schema procedural; intelligence explicit; mental set semantic; concept

Explanation:

Semantic memory stores factual, conceptual knowledge (e.g., what a metaphor is). A metaphor is a mental representation of a category/idea, which is a concept. Other options are incorrect: implicit memory is unconscious; procedural is for skills; explicit is broad but "semantic" is specific to factual concepts. Schema is a broader framework, intelligence is ability, mental set is a cognitive bias—none fit as a mental representation of a metaphor itself.

Answer:

semantic; concept
