Answer:

The correct answer is Imagery.

Step-by-step explanation:

Cognitive psychology can be understood as the academic study of cognitive and metal processes that occur in the individual.

One of those cognitive processes is memory.

Widely speaking, memory is the cognitive ability that helps us remember events, concepts, movements, words, numbers and also memory helps us learn new things.

Remembering is a very complex process and it can be influenced by multiple factors.

Semantic memory is a type of memory that consists of conceptual information such as words, numbers, concepts, etc.

Certain factors contribute to the level of difficulty to remember certain things.

In this particular case, the fact that we are more likely to remember the words bicycle, cigarette and fire than the words void, process and inherent is because the first group of words we can visualize it in the real world.

We know how a cigarette looks, but how does inherent looks like?

This shows the value of Imagery. When we can visualize things we can remember said things more easily.
