A professional cyclist falls off her bike on day one of the Great Victorian Bike Ride. She breaks various bones in her body and is very upset about not being able to continue in the race. However, she does not sustain significant brain trauma, as she was wearing protective headgear. Afterwards, she remembers very little about the events leading up to, during and following the accident. She eventually recovers and enters the Around Tasmania Bike Race. Again she has an accident on day one, breaks various bones in her body, gets upset, but doesn’t suffer significant brain trauma. However, soon after falling, the events surrounding the fall in the Great Victorian Bike Ride come flooding back. The cyclist’s recovery of memory of the first fall is an example of the

D. state dependency of certain memories.

A. memory consolidation process.

B. memory reconstruction process

C. context dependency of certain memories.

Which of the following memory processes is most likely to be experienced if there is damage to the frontal lobes?

B. retrieval of explicit memories

C. retrieval of classically conditioned fear responses

D. expression of classically conditioned fear responses
