These involve priming, conditioning and procedural memory. Explicit memory: explicit memory can be tested using direct tests: free recall, cued recall, recognition. Indirect tests of memory is when a person is unaware of how previous, unconscious memories are influencing later performance. Instructions: participants are told to respond to test stimuli without reference to past experience. Study/encoding phase: completely incidental (i. e. participants are not informed that there will be a memory test) there is a cover" test. Retention interval: the delay between the presentation of the material (study phase), and the memory test (retrieval phase) The test phase: usually does not make any reference to the study phase.
