Question

Mr. Mustapha is unable to remember playing pickle ball several times each week on a particular court. Yet the more he plays the game, the more his game improves. His experience illustrates the need to distinguish between:

massed practice and distributed practice.

explicit memory and implicit memory.

recognition and recall.

short-term memory and long-term memory.

Answer 1

Correct answer and explanation: explicit memory and implicit memory. This explains the memory which we are aware of [explicict] and which we are not aware of[implicict]. In this case, implicit memory is worked upon [practice or playing more] which will eventually improve his game[ better consciousness-explicit memory]

Wrong answer and explanation: option a are learning strategies which involve learning new things. Recognition and recall are about the retrieval of some information that a person is aware of. Long term memory and short term memory are about storage system of memories.
