UGC NET 2022 Politics Including IR Question Paper (09-Jul-2022) (Shift 1)
The correct answer is

Automaticity

The question asks about the process Ishita attained through practicing her multiplication tables, where she no longer requires attention and concentration to recall her multiplication facts. This describes a cognitive process known as "Automaticity."

Let's explore the options provided:

  1. Flashbulb memory: This refers to vivid, detailed memories of significant events. It does not apply here as the question pertains to multiplication tables, not a significant personal or historical event.
  2. Schema: This term refers to a cognitive framework or concept that helps organize and interpret information. Although relevant to learning, it's not specific to the automatic recall of pre-learned information.
  3. Automaticity: This is the correct answer. It refers to the ability to perform tasks quickly and efficiently without conscious thought due to extensive practice or learning. Ishita's consistent practice led to automaticity in recalling multiplication tables.
  4. Procedural memory: This encompasses memory responsible for knowing how to do things, such as motor skills. While it includes processes learned through repetition, it is broader and includes physical skills, not specifically recalling facts automatically.

The most appropriate answer is Automaticity because it accurately describes the process of effortlessly recalling learned information due to repeated practice, as in Ishita's case with multiplication tables.
