Katie's ability to remember how to swim is a form of procedural memory, which involves the long-term memory of how to perform certain skills and actions without conscious thought. This type of memory is responsible for our ability to ride a bike or type on a keyboard, for example. Explicit memory (A) involves conscious recall of facts or events, semantic memory (C) involves general knowledge and understanding, and working memory (D) involves temporarily holding and manipulating information in the short-term.
