Understand the difference between explicit and implicit memories. Explicit memories are those that can be consciously recalled, such as facts and events. Implicit memories are not consciously recalled and often involve skills and tasks.
Recognize that the question is asking about memories that are 'easily made conscious.' This suggests a focus on explicit memories, as they are accessible to conscious awareness.
Consider the options provided: 'explicit; implicit,' 'episodic; semantic,' and 'semantic; autobiographical.'
Evaluate each option: 'explicit; implicit' suggests explicit memories are easily made conscious, which aligns with the definition of explicit memories.
Conclude that the correct answer is 'implicit; explicit,' as implicit memories are not easily made conscious, whereas explicit memories are.
