Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The learning that led to salivating at the sight of a chili pepper reflects implicit memory, which involves the unconscious acquisition of skills and habits. This type of memory is not consciously recallable and is formed through repeated experiences or conditioning, as in the case of classical conditioning where a conditioned stimulus (the sight of a chili pepper) leads to a conditioned response (salivation). Phases I episodic memory involves autobiographical information related to a specific event, procedural memory pertains to motor skills, and generic memory refers to generalized knowledge about the world.
