All memory is in a sense 'functional' and is generally categorized into those that are 'implicit' (i.e., do not require conscious recollection, like knowing how to ski) and those that are 'explicit' (i.e., that involve conscious recollection of facts and experiences, like knowing where the best place to ski is). Psychologists make further distinctions within these two broad groups; but the point I wanted to make is that for a memory trace to work it has to be functional.

What is the difference between functional and affective memory?

Functional, or working, memory is the facet of the memory that actively holds multiple pieces of transitory information in the mind, where they can be accessed, used, and manipulated, and this is a psychology term. Affective memory is a theatrical term, coming from Stanislavski's acting method. Affective memory calls for people to cast their minds back to details of a similar experience, or one with similar emotional weight, to that of the character they are about to play. This emotional recall makes the character more believeable and more realistic.
