Question

Your drive to school each day is pretty standard – you start your car, take the same route, and park in the same spot (or close to the same spot). One day, you are sitting at a red light when you witness a high speed car chase – complete with cops, a helicopter, and news vans. Even years later, you can recall lots of details from that drive. Which memory concept is associated with why you will remember that particular drive to school

a. retroactive interference
b. distinctiveness
c. proactive interference
d. Deese-Roediger-McDermott (DRM) effect

Answer 2

b. distinctiveness

Step-by-step explanation:

Distinctiveness is the capacity of the memory to easily re-call situations that were drastically different from our routine, this means that for example a day where you instead of going to school your mom let you call in sick and stay and watch tv, you would remember that better than the rest of your normal days because it was easily disctintable, the same with the example of the highspeed car chase.
