Implicit/Nondeclarative Memory
Implicit or nondeclarative memory is long-term memory that we are not consciously, explicitly aware of, and cannot bring to mind. Instead, evidence of these memories is shown through a change in behaviour.
Wize Tip
Implicit and nondeclarative memory are the same thing. Some instructors will use one or the other, and your textbook may or may not use the same one as your instructor! Be able to recognize both and know they're the same thing.
There are many types of implicit memory:
- Conditioning - our behaviour changes due to a learned association between stimuli or between an action and its consequence.
- Priming - our behaviour or responses change because we are pre-exposed to something we aren't aware of.
- Procedural learning - learning processes, skills, and procedures, like riding a bicycle.
