Implicit memory

Music’s effects are vast. According to Levitin (2006), the act of listening to music engages every area of the brain and every known neural subsystem, including memory. There are two main types of memory, explicit and implicit (Schacter, 1987; Jancke, 2008; Ettlinger, Margulis, & Wong, 2011). Explicit memory is the conscious recall of information; it is used while memorizing a list of words (Schacter, 1987; Ettlinger et al., 2011). Implicit memory is the unconscious memory that develops over time; since implicit memory stems from perceptual learning and experience, it lasts longer than explicit memory. (Schacter, 1987; Ettlinger et al., 2011; Jancke, 2008). Implicit memory will be tested since it is retained longer than explicit memory. Priming is a form of implicit memory (Lowrey, Eisenberger, Hardin & Sinclair, 2007; Kesek, Cunningham, Packer, & Zelazo, 2011; Wiese, 2011). Priming teaches information subliminally, through picture, word, and auditory clues (Lowrey et al., 2007; Wiese, 2011; Peretz, Radeau, & Arguin, 2004). For example, Levy found that when older adults were exposed to words related to wisdom, they performed better on memory tests (1996). Lowrey, Eisenberger, Hardin & Sinclair (2007) found similar results, observing that when students were exposed to words dealing with intelligence before a midterm,…

As exhibited in H.M. and with further research, we have found that the spatial variances are associated with the distinctions between implicit and explicit memory. Implicit memory is the transducing and storing of stimuli that are perceived unconsciously. These memories are also known as learned skills or tasks. Explicit memory is the storage of events and facts (Squire, 1992). Because implicit memory is unconscious and explicit memory is conscious, there are different mechanisms and anatomical…

"Implicit memory is shown when performing on a task is enabled in the absence of conscious remembrance; explicit memory is unmasked when the performance on a task requires conscious memory of previous occurrences (Graf and Schacter, 1985 in Anderson, 2015) and conveyed in typical tests of cued and free recall and recognition. Event memory loss after an injury is called anterograde amnesia which involves the extended hippocampal complex and the thalamus which helps form new memories (Salnaitis,…

rather than focusing on relationships. Generally, most Western cultures are categorized as low-context, while, Asian cultures are seen as high-context (Han, 2003). Although high-context communication may help save face since it provides a less direct approach, however, it may the probability of miscommunication. Since majority of the message is implicit and left unstated. On the other hand, low-context…

Brunel, Vallet & Versace(2009) created a study to examine the effect cross-modal priming presents when interrupted by visual and auditory simulations/masks, in order to prove that the priming effects is contingent to intuition/knowledge. Two experiments were conducted; each consisted of twenty-four students from Lyon 2 University in France, who were all right-handed and had normal/corrected vision. The first experiment focused on visual priming, which consisted of six practice trials and six…

Memory is a very complicated aspect to cognition. There are three types of memory sensory memory, short-term (working) memory, and long-term memory. A significant amount of research has been done each of the types of memory. Long-term memory has been divided into two types of long-term memory; declarative (explicit) memory and nondeclarative (implicit) memory. Declarative or explicit memory includes semantic and episodic memory; these are the memories you know you have and are consciously…

understand the impact of a traumatic memory from the past on the present we must first understand what memory is. The act of remembering is something we begin to do subconsciously, it is an innate evolutionary feature adapted for survival. Memory is the mental faculty of retaining and recalling past experiences and we use it in our daily lives without realising.Fundamentally, memory represents a change in who we are. Our habits, our ideologies, our hopes and fears are all influenced by what we…

referred to as muscle memory, giving the mind mental capacity to train muscles to a consistent action. The purpose of training a motion to be done effortlessly gives an athlete advantages under stress and when trying to expand on a certain element. The muscle memory is completely mental, the brain will pick up the certain actions’ movement after it is repeatedly done. The term “muscle memory” is nonetheless deeply established, perhaps because it serves some key functions to an athlete. Muscle…

Ferrand & New, 2003; Neely et al., 1989; Perea & Rosa, 2002a, 2002b; Hutchison, 2003; Lucas, 2000; Neely, 1991), but is less common in cross-language priming (Duyck, 2005; Kroll & Stewart, 1990; Schoonbaert et al., 2007; Chen & Ng, 1989; de Groot & Nas, 1991; Keatley et al. 1994; Schwanenflugel & Rey 1986; Basnight-Brown & Altarriba, 2007). Semantic priming studies offer an investigation of the relationships between two different lexical structures conveying the same meaning (e.g., gato and cat…

There are two types of learning—explicit and implicit learning. Explicit learning is the “what and “where” (semantics & episodic) and implicit learning is the “how” and “wow” (procedural & reflexive). Some examples of explicit learning are: reading, lecture, work sheets, listening, Q & A, discussions, and facts. Some examples of implicit learning are: movement, role-playing, simulations, games, model creations, life experiences, and field trips. The key to implicit learning is that new…
