B) implicit
C) intrinsic

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The term "implicit" refers to memories that are not consciously recalled but are instead used to perform tasks. These memories are often referred to as "procedural" memories and are stored in the brain's basal ganglia. Choice A (tacit) is incorrect because tacit knowledge can refer to any type of knowledge that is difficult to put into words, not just memories. Choices C (intrinsic) and D (internal) are both incorrect because they are too broad and do not specifically refer to the type of memory described in the question.
