failed

Solution

failed
failed

The answer is the first one: the unconscious recollection of how to do something.

Explanation for each option:

  1. The unconscious recollection of how to do something: This is the correct description of implicit memory. Implicit memory involves skills and tasks that can be performed without conscious awareness, such as riding a bike or typing on a keyboard.

  2. The storage of all memories: This statement is incorrect because implicit memory does not encompass all types of memory. It specifically refers to memories that are not consciously recalled.

  3. An encoding failure of specific memories: This is incorrect as it describes a failure in the memory process, not a type of memory. Implicit memory is about successfully stored and retrieved memories that are not consciously accessed.

  4. The conscious recollection of specific facts about an event or situation: This describes explicit memory, not implicit memory. Explicit memory involves the conscious recall of information, such as facts and events.

In summary, implicit memory is characterized by the unconscious recollection of skills and tasks, making the first option the correct choice.
