Studies of memory loss and weakness as it relates to aging tend to focus on which types of memory?
  1. Episodic and semantic memory
  2. Episodic and implicit memory
  3. Explicit and implicit memory
  4. Semantic and implicit memory
Explanation
Answer: C - Explicit memory is deliberate and conscious recall of information learned at specific times; semantic and episodic memory are both subsets of explicit memory. Implicit memory is unconscious recall of information learned at an earlier time. Research focuses on the differences between explicit and implicit memory over the course of aging; explicit memory loss is much more apparent.
