Question

an individual remembers how kind their friend was when their parent passed away. specifically, the individual remembers how much the friend helped the family and worked hard to make sure they were all ok. this is an example of what type of memory?

declarative

autobiographical

iconic

short term

Explanation:

Autobiographical memory refers to personal, first-hand memories of one's own life events and experiences. The scenario describes a person recalling a specific personal event involving their friend and a difficult time in their life, which fits this category. Declarative memory is a broader category that includes factual and episodic memory, but autobiographical is the more specific fit here. Iconic memory is a type of sensory memory for visual information, and short-term memory is temporary storage, neither of which match the described long-term personal memory.

Answer:

autobiographical
