His house is now the family's house and I can still smell his body all over the house like he is still with us in spirit" 4. Are you in agree with the following statement given his/her experience? why? "One of the earliest memories I have is from when I was about 3 1/2 years old. I love telling this story! My parents and I had taken a trip to the Bahamas. There are quite literally only two things that I remember from this trip, and they aren't even really details about the trip itself. One thing I remember was a yellow band-aid I was wearing that had Bob the Tomato on it from Veggie Tales. The other memory was actually right when we gothomefrom the trip. I had smuggled some hermit crabs back to our home (at the time) in Sterlington, Louisiana. I wanted them to sleep with me that night, so I placed the bucket on my bed. Well, in the middle of the night, I was awoken by the sensation of something crawling on me. I had knocked the bucket over in my sleep. I remember moving the covers back and seeing little hermit crabs crawling around in the sheets. This memory is a long term memory. Specifically, falling under the category of declarative/explicit memory, being an episodic memory. I believe that this is an episodic memory because it deals with specific events in my timeline. It is about remembering/recalling theexperienceof that event.

I think that I remember the crab memory so vividly because I had love for them and wanted to do everything with them, but was also frightened by waking up to them crawling on me. I think it was very emotion-based. The same with my band-aid: I loved Veggie Tales. I believe I had a sense of adoration towards that band-aid (weird I know haha) and that character, that the memory juststuck. "
