Question 10 of 30 You were having trouble remembering the color order in the spectrum until your teacher made a saying Roy G. Biv, out of it. The fact that now, years later, you can easily remember it is an example of: A. procedural memory. B. semantic memory. C. echoic memory. D. iconic memory.

The correct answer is:<br /><br />**B. semantic memory.**<br /><br />### Explanation:<br />Semantic memory refers to a type of long-term memory that involves the storage and recall of general knowledge, facts, concepts, and meanings. In this case, the acronym "Roy G. Biv" (representing the colors of the spectrum: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet) is a mnemonic device that helps you remember the order of the colors. This information is stored in your semantic memory because it relates to factual knowledge.<br /><br />Here’s why the other options are incorrect:<br />- **A. Procedural memory**: This involves memory for skills and tasks, such as riding a bike or typing on a keyboard. It does not apply here since remembering the color order is not a skill-based activity.<br />- **C. Echoic memory**: This is a type of sensory memory related to auditory information. It lasts only a few seconds and is not relevant to long-term recall like in this example.<br />- **D. Iconic memory**: This is another type of sensory memory, but it pertains to visual information and also lasts only briefly. It does not explain long-term recall of the color order.<br /><br />Thus, the ability to recall "Roy G. Biv" years later is an example of **semantic memory**.
