Cheri's conditioned response to the smell of oatmeal indicates implicit memory, which is a type of long-term memory that is not conscious or intentional. This type of memory is often formed through conditioning and cannot be deliberately retrieved. Cheri does not consciously remember getting sick from eating oatmeal, but her conditioning has created an automatic association between the smell of oatmeal and nausea.
