Document Summary

The most basic distinction we can make is between explicit and implicit memories (though each of these can then be further broken down) The processes involved when people remember specific information information that we are consciously aware of. The system underlying unconscious memories memories we acquire without awareness or intention and do not even know that we know. Episodic memory: memory of your personal past experiences that includes information about the time and place the experiences occurred. Semantic memory: memory for knowledge about the world things that you know, even though you may not remember where or when you learned it. E. g. , knowing that certain music is associated with bad things. Improvement in identifying or processing a stimulus that has been experienced previously. Motor skills, habits, and other behaviours that we remember how to do without thinking about it. Memory enhancement that occurs when the recall situation is similar to the encoding situation.
