Memory types include sensory (brief perception storage), short-term (temporary holding of info), and long-term, which splits into explicit (conscious) and implicit (unconscious).

Memory can be broken down into multiple types, including long-term memory, short-term memory, explicit and implicit memory, and working memory.

Researchers have investigated the shared and unique neural processes that underlie different types of long-term memory: general semantic, personal semantic and episodic memory.

Short-term memory is what enables us to remember something we just heard, like a phone number. Long-term memory: This type of memory refers to longer-term storage.

Implicit and explicit memory are both kinds of long-term memory, but what’s the difference, and why is each important? Experts explain.

Researchers from the University of Ottawa investigating the shared and unique neural processes that underlie different types of long-term memory have found these all use the same network of the ...
