Procedural memory, unlike declarative memory, also plays a role in defining the personality of a person. Both these types of memories are stored in different regions of brains by separate processes.
Declarative memory is stored in the temporal lobe while procedural memory is stored in the cerebellum. Several models have been proposed to describe the method by which memories are stored in the brain. Damage to different areas of the brain can have impacts on different types of memories. Different memory systems interact with one another for their proper functioning. Different pharmaceutical products may be used for the treatment of various memory disorders.
These products must target the areas of the brain where the memories are stored. Home About. Table of Contents. Introduction Language is somehow dependent on two different systems of the brain. Areas of Brain involved in Explicit and Implicit Memory The hippocampus plays a vital role in storing declarative memory.
Subdivisions of Explicit and Implicit Memory Explicit memory involves conscious elementary involvement in recording facts and figures. It can be divided into four broad categories: Episodic Memory refers to memory gathered from day to day experiences and can be stated and conjured explicitly. It involves an accident that happened to you while you were traveling in the car. In other words, it is an episodic form of memory remembering the past.
Semantic Memory refers to facts and general knowledge we gather over the years. It is different from episodic memory in general perspective like you know what a car is - its functions, creations, 4-wheeled and more. In other words, it is a factual package. Spatial memory refers to the recording of information concerning the spatial arrangement of an individual.
It forms a basic cognitive map. We can take an example of your known areas within your vicinity. It can be further subdivided as follow: Priming refers to subconscious stimulus creation in response to primary stimulus without guidance and intentions. It can be perceptual, associative, repetitive, positive, negative, affective, semantic, or conceptual.
It works best in the same modality stimulus. Perceptual learning refers to achieving better perception giving rise to discrimination between two similar things.
It forms the basis of cognitive processes and plays with a neural basis to bring about the prime effect. Category learning refers to concept attainment to clarify and categorize different things accordingly.
Grouping is the elementary function of this one. It allows a learner to compare different things. Colloquially it implies subjective divisions for better understanding. Emotional Learning refers to the effect of emotions on an individual. And we all know emotions have a profound effect on an individual. Most of the autobiographical memories tend to carry chunks of emotions into it.
Procedural Learning involves skill attainment for better task attainability at any point in life. It aids the performance of tasks without conscious involvement. Memory Process Several models explain the procedure of how memory gets into your brain store. Development of Memory The memory is not a single fit in the process. Nature of Declarative Memory It refers to learning something quickly. Working Memory For supportive functions of cognition which includes learning and reasoning encompasses this wide area of working memory.
Nature of Non-declarative Memory It is the collection of abilities that can be expressed without legitimate conscious involvement. Effects of Brain damage on Memory Damage to hippocampal areas through ischemic changes or stereotaxic lesions. Other examples of implicit memory may include:. As you can see, these are skills that you learn and then don't have to relearn again in order to perform them.
These memories are largely unconscious and occur automatically; you don't need to think about all of the exact steps you need to follow in order to complete each task.
In order to understand some of the key differences between these two types of memory, it can be helpful to compare the two:. Here's a quick demonstration that you can try to show how implicit and explicit memory work. Type the following sentence without looking down at your hands: "Every red pepper is tantalizing. You probably found it quite easy to type the above sentence without having to consciously think about where each letter appears on the keyboard.
That task requires implicit memory. Having to recall which letters appear in the top row of your keyboard, however, is something that would require explicit memory. Since you have probably never sat down and intentionally committed the order of those keys to memory, it's not something that you are able to easily recall. Research suggests that there are a number of factors that can influence the formation of both explicit and implicit memory, including stress levels and emotional states.
One study found that high-stress levels on working memory, a part of short-term memory that acts as a temporary holding space for information people are focusing on at the moment.
This part of memory is important in the formation of explicit memories. The research also suggested that stress may actually facilitate the formation of implicit memories for negative emotional information.
Studies have also suggested that mood can also play an important role in the formation and recall of explicit and implicit memories. Explicit and implicit memory play important roles in shaping your ability to recall information and interact in your environment. Knowing some of the major differences between the two is important for understanding how memory works. Ever wonder what your personality type means?

A meta-analytic review of mood-congruent implicit memory in depressed mood. Clin Psychol Rev. In his research, Sperling showed participants a display of letters in rows, similar to that shown in Figure 9. Then, Sperling gave his participants a recall test in which they were asked to name all the letters that they could remember.
On average, the participants could remember only about one-quarter of the letters that they had seen. Sperling reasoned that the participants had seen all the letters but could remember them only very briefly, making it impossible for them to report them all.
To test this idea, in his next experiment, he first showed the same letters, but then after the display had been removed, he signaled to the participants to report the letters from either the first, second, or third row. In this condition, the participants now reported almost all the letters in that row. Auditory sensory memory is known as echoic memory. In some people iconic memory seems to last longer, a phenomenon known as eidetic imagery or photographic memory in which people can report details of an image over long periods of time.
There is also some evidence for eidetic memories in hearing; some people report that their echoic memories persist for unusually long periods of time. The composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart may have possessed eidetic memory for music, because even when he was very young and had not yet had a great deal of musical training, he could listen to long compositions and then play them back almost perfectly Solomon, Most of the information that gets into sensory memory is forgotten, but information that we turn our attention to, with the goal of remembering it, may pass into short-term memory.
Information in short-term memory is not stored permanently but rather becomes available for us to process, and the processes that we use to make sense of, modify, interpret, and store information in STM are known as working memory.
Although it is called memory, working memory is not a store of memory like STM but rather a set of memory procedures or operations. Each of the following questions appears individually on a computer screen and then disappears after you answer the question:. To successfully accomplish the task, you have to answer each of the math problems correctly and at the same time remember the letter that follows the task. Then, after the six questions, you must list the letters that appeared in each of the trials in the correct order in this case S, R, P, T, U, Q.
To accomplish this difficult task you need to use a variety of skills. You clearly need to use STM, as you must keep the letters in storage until you are asked to list them.
But you also need a way to make the best use of your available attention and processing. For instance, you might decide to use a strategy of repeat the letters twice, then quickly solve the next problem, and then repeat the letters twice again including the new one. The central executive will make use of whatever strategies seem to be best for the given task.
For instance, the central executive will direct the rehearsal process, and at the same time direct the visual cortex to form an image of the list of letters in memory. You can see that although STM is involved, the processes that we use to operate on the material in memory are also critical. Short-term memory is limited in both the length and the amount of information it can hold. Peterson and Peterson found that when people were asked to remember a list of three-letter strings and then were immediately asked to perform a distracting task counting backward by threes , the material was quickly forgotten see Figure 9.
One way to prevent the decay of information from short-term memory is to use working memory to rehearse it. Maintenance rehearsal is the process of repeating information mentally or out loud with the goal of keeping it in memory.
We engage in maintenance rehearsal to keep something that we want to remember e. If we continue to rehearse information, it will stay in STM until we stop rehearsing it, but there is also a capacity limit to STM. Try reading each of the following rows of numbers, one row at a time, at a rate of about one number each second. Then when you have finished each row, close your eyes and write down as many of the numbers as you can remember. If you are like the average person, you will have found that on this test of working memory, known as a digit span test , you did pretty well up to about the fourth line, and then you started having trouble.
I bet you missed some of the numbers in the last three rows, and did pretty poorly on the last one. The digit span of most adults is between five and nine digits, with an average of about seven. But if we can only hold a maximum of about nine digits in short-term memory, then how can we remember larger amounts of information than this? For instance, how can we ever remember a digit phone number long enough to dial it? One way we are able to expand our ability to remember things in STM is by using a memory technique called chunking.
Chunking is the process of organizing information into smaller groupings chunks , thereby increasing the number of items that can be held in STM.
For instance, try to remember this string of 12 letters:. Would it help you if I pointed out that the material in this string could be chunked into four sets of three letters each?
I think it would, because then rather than remembering 12 letters, you would only have to remember the names of four television stations. What can amnesic patients learn.
