Which of the following are the subdivisions of Implicit (Unconscious) memory?
A. Priming
B. Episodic Memory
C. Classical conditioning effects
D. Semantic Memory
E. Procedural Memory
Choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:

Correct option is C

Implicit memory, also known as unconscious or non-declarative memory, refers to memories that are not consciously recalled but influence our behaviors and thoughts. It includes the following subdivisions:
· Priming (A): The process where exposure to one stimulus influences the response to another stimulus.
· Classical conditioning effects (C): Learned associations between stimuli and responses that are automatic.
· Procedural memory (E): Memory for performing tasks and skills, such as riding a bike or typing.
Information Booster:
· Implicit memory operates automatically and doesn't require conscious thought.
· Procedural memory helps perform routine actions and skills.
· Classical conditioning forms automatic responses to stimuli.
· Priming subtly influences behavior without awareness.
· Implicit memory can persist even when explicit memory is impaired, such as in cases of amnesia.
Additional Information:
· Episodic Memory (B): This type of memory is part of explicit (conscious) memory and involves the recollection of personal events or experiences. It allows individuals to remember specific events in time, such as birthdays or conversations. It requires conscious effort to recall and is not a part of implicit memory.
· Semantic Memory (D): This is also part of explicit memory and refers to the recall of facts, concepts, and knowledge about the world. For example, knowing that Paris is the capital of France or that water boils at 100°C falls under semantic memory. Like episodic memory, it requires conscious retrieval and is distinct from implicit memory.
· Both episodic memory and semantic memory are components of explicit memory, which contrasts with implicit memory in that explicit memories can be consciously recalled and verbalized. These types of memories are crucial for learning, reasoning, and decision-making in daily life but are separate from the automatic processes governed by implicit memory.
