Answer:

A. nondeclarative memory.

Matthew can walk on his hands. He does not remember how he learned to do it, and he cannot explain to others how he does it. Matthew’s skill of walking on his hands is characteristic of A. nondeclarative memory.

  • Semantic memory is associated with understanding, and general knowledge. This does not store information related to specific experiences instead it is conceptual knowledge.
  • Incidences that people do not try to remember are stored in their implicit memory. This memory includes all those incidences which are done unconsciously and unintentionally.
  • Autobiographic memory is memory related to self and personal identity.
  • Semantic, implicit, and autobiographic memory do not include memories related to incidences that cannot be recalled into conscious awareness.
  • Nondeclarative memory is associated with facts related to incidences which a person cannot consciously bring into awareness or recall. The given condition is an example of nondeclarative memory as Matthew do not remember how he learned to perform the walk on hands.
