Explicit memory needs the process of gradual learning, with multiple presentations of a stimulus and its corresponding response.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The counterpart to this type of memory is known as implicit memory and it refers to memories that are acquired and used unconsciously such as skills like knowing how to get dressed or perception. Unlike the former, implicit memory acquisition occurs rapidly, even from a single <a href=\"http:https:\/\/www.teachmint.com\/glossary\/h\/habituation\/\">stimulus<\/a>, and is influenced by other mental systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sometimes a distinction is made between explicit memory and the term that is often used synonymously with it, declarative memory. In such cases, the former relates to any type of conscious memory, and declarative memory refers to any kind of memory that can be described in the form of words. However, if it is assumed that memory cannot be described without being conscious, then the two concepts are identical.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Teachmint has a large collection of learning resources that are available for anyone to download, ranging from highly detailed notes and lecture videos to ready-made tests and homework assignments.
