Answer 1

Answer:

The answer for the blank space is: episodic memory.

Explanation:

Episodic memory is a recollection of memories involving the time, location, and emotions of past events; it helps people travel back in time and recall who was involved, the place that was involved, and the incidences that took place, or were experienced.

Answer 2

Answer: This is an example of EPISODIC MEMORY.

Explanation: Episodic memory is a subcategory of long term memory in which we store memories of personal experiences that are tied to particular times and places.

Just like Garrett, reminiscing about his first day after graduation. A typical college duration takes about 4 years so if Garrett is thinking about his first day, that memory is definitely long term.
