Rehearsal
Factual memory is the ability to recall specific details or information, such as names, dates, or events, without needing to interpret or analyze the information. It is a type of memory that focuses on storing and retrieving factual knowledge.
One of the two parts that compose Declarative Memory. Sematic Memory stores factual information.
implicit memory
Classification by duration A basic and generally accepted classification of memory is based on the duration of memory retention, and identifies three distinct types of memory: sensory memory, short-term memory, and long-term memory. The sensory memory corresponds approximately to the initial moment that an item is perceived. Some of this information in the sensory area proceeds to the sensory store, which is referred to as short-term memory. Sensory memory is characterised by the duration of memory retention from millisec. Classification by information type Long-term memory can be divided into declarative (explicit) and procedural (implicit) memories. Declarative memory requires conscious recall, in that some conscious process must call back the information. It is sometimes called explicit memory, since it consists of information that is explicitly stored and retrieved. Declarative memory can be further sub-divided into semantic memory, which concerns facts taken independent of context; and episodic memory, which concerns information specific to a..
Memory does not solely require conscious processing; it operates on both conscious and unconscious levels. While explicit memories, such as facts and events, involve conscious thought and retrieval, implicit memories, like skills and habits, can be formed and recalled without conscious awareness. This duality allows us to learn and remember information even when we are not actively focused on it.
The type of memory that occurs unintentionally and without awareness is known as implicit memory. This form of memory involves the unconscious retention of information, such as skills and habits, which can influence behavior without conscious thought. For example, riding a bike or typing on a keyboard relies on implicit memory, as individuals often perform these tasks without actively recalling the steps involved. Implicit memory contrasts with explicit memory, which requires conscious effort to retrieve information.
The conscious memory of the name of the first president of the US, George Washington, is stored in explicit long-term memory, specifically within the semantic memory subsystem. Semantic memory is responsible for storing facts and information about the world, including names, concepts, and general knowledge. This type of memory allows us to recall information intentionally and is distinct from episodic memory, which involves personal experiences.
Explicit Memory
The measure of memory retention that assesses the ability to draw information out of storage and into conscious awareness is known as "recall." Recall involves retrieving previously learned information without cues, such as remembering a list of items or facts. This contrasts with recognition, where the presence of cues aids in identifying previously learned information. Recall is a critical aspect of episodic memory, reflecting the active retrieval process.
Declarative memory is a type of long-term memory that involves the conscious recall of facts and events. It is the memory system responsible for storing information that can be easily verbalized and expressed. Declarative memory is typically divided into semantic memory, which is the storage of general knowledge, and episodic memory, which involves personal experiences.
The brain directs the conscious motor functions of the body, the primary sensory receive and process from our senses, speech and language, factual memory formation and short term memory. Also the regulation of many differing functional traits such as affection, emotion and behavior and motor learning.
