Spontaneous recovery
Repression
Long-term memory
Short-term memory

Explanation

Answer: A - Spontaneous recovery refers to the sudden recovery of a memory that has been long lost. Spontaneous memory is almost always linked to a cue. In this example, Valerie’s childhood bedroom is the cue to the spontaneous recovery. Spontaneous recovery differs from repression in that the forgetting is not a means of self-protection.
