Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Procedural memory refers to the type of memory which is responsible for acquiring skills and knowledge through repetition and practice, such as riding a bike or playing a musical instrument. In this scenario, Igor's ability to remember how to ski despite not doing so in 10 years is due to his procedural memory. Explicit memory refers to conscious recollection of information, episodic memory refers to memory of personal experiences, and semantic memory refers to memory of general knowledge and concepts.
