Explicit memory
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Explicit memory consists of information stored and retrieved explicitly from the external world. This information is about a specific event that has occurred at a specific time and place. Associations are done with previously related stimuli or experiences in the formation, storage and subsequent retrieval of these memories.
Explicit memory involves conscious recollection, compared with implicit memory which involves a lack of conscious awareness in the act of recollection.
