Explicit verses Implicit memory – two categories of memory
• Implicit memory (unconscious memory – subjects can demonstrate knowledge, such as a
skill, conditioned response, or recalling events on prompting, but cannot explicitly retrieve
the information
• Explicit memory (conscious memory) – subjects can retrieve an item and indicate that they
know that the retrieved item is the correct item.
