Implicit memory involves recalling information in the absence of a conscious attempt at retrieval. This process can be said to be similar to incidental learning because they both:
A) involve explicit encoding strategies
B) lead to amnesia
C) are insensitive to the von Restorff effect
D) involve unconscious, or indirect, memory processes
