Question

When it is time to train your children how to ride a bicycle, you hop on an old bike you borrowed from a friend to demonstrate even though you haven’t rode a bike for over 10 years. Riding the bike is still something that is easily remembered. However, when it comes time to sit down with your children and help them with their math homework, you cannot remember how to do the problems. How can the different types of long-term memory explain this scenario?

Answer 1

Answer:

as you get older and older, questions change and your brain changes. when the person you are asking was young, they may have learned it a different way, or they just way not remember. you can only ride a bike one way, so therefore its easier to remember.
