Your memory of the alphabet or the multiplication tables is the result of a great deal of repetition that makes associations automatic, a phenomenon that psychologists refer to as retrospective memory.

Retrospective Memory

Memory for past events, activities, and learning experiences, as shown by explicit (episodic and semantic) and implicit memories.

Repetition

The act of doing or saying something over and over again to retain or improve the skill or memory.

  • Identify and explain memory phenomena such as the tip-of-the-tongue phenomenon, retrospective memory, and the serial-position effect.

Final Answer :
False
Explanation :
The correct term for this type of memory, which involves the automatic recall of basic facts, such as the alphabet or multiplication tables, is procedural memory, not retrospective memory. Procedural memory is part of long-term memory responsible for knowing how to do things, also known as motor skills.
