There are two divisions of long term memories, explicit memory and implicit memory. Explicit memory is a type of long-term memory in which we store memories of fact. In addition, explicit memory is divided further into semantic and episodic memories. An explicit memory I have is my phone number from kindergarten. I can recall the exact numbers of our house phone. We only had that number for a year, but I can recall those numbers on command. Implicit memory is sometimes referred to as unconscious memory or automatic memory. An implicit memory I have is when I think about first grade in elementary school. When I think about first grade, the memory of me getting locked in the classroom pops in my head. It was a very tragic moment in my life.
