  • A.Episodic memory
  • B.Semantic memory
  • C.Sensory memory
  • D.Amnesic memory

Answer: A

Ruchi's memory of being whimsical at eight is an episodic memory.

Episodic memory holds personal experiences tied to a particular time and place in one's life, so remembering how one behaved at the age of eight is a clear example.

Semantic memory is general knowledge of facts and meanings, sensory memory is the very brief hold of raw input from the senses, and amnesic memory is not a type of memory in this classification. Such a memory can be recalled as a picture of a scene, with the people and the place that were part of it.
