Explicit memory
Explicit memory is the memory of consciously available facts and events that can be recalled and described in words.
Definition
Explicit memory includes, among others, episodic memory, i.e. memories of specific events, and semantic memory, i.e. general knowledge. It differs from procedural memory, which is responsible for skills and automaticities. It is not a perfect recording of the past, because remembering can change the way a memory is told.
