Explicit memory (declarative memory)
This refers to memories that are consciously available such as information you use in examination, remembering events at a party, meaning of words or knowledge on animals within the environment e.t.c. Explicit memory is deliberate and we draw on it to carry out many activities in our daily lives. Explicit memory has three major subdivisions. These are;
· Episodic memory
· Semantic memory
· Autobiographical memory
Implicit memory
Implicit memory also referred to as procedural memory is the memory about the use of objects or body parts to carry out a task. This memory is considered nondeclaration because it occurs out of our conscious. Implicit memory is remembering information without conscious awareness. Schecter (1996) and other researchers suggest that implicit memory may use of information based on previous experience but without realizing that you had interacted with the information before. For example you might be describing something to a friend with a thought that it is a new idea before you learn that it was not a new idea. Barrios (1995) on the other hand views implicit memory to be understood in terms of cues. Accordingly, he argues that in coding specificity principle, some pieces of memory get activated by a cue but the entire memory is not retrieved. Instead one is is left with a feeling of familiarity that cannot be readily explained. Implicit memory is typical measured in terms of priming or benefit in performance from previous exposure to the word
