Declarative memory specific contents of specific experiences that can be verbally recalled. Procedural memory ability to perform a task. Learning set rules of the game. Implicit memory is encoded: data driven, bottom-up: info enter the brain through the sensory receptors then processed in subcortical and cortical regions. Explicit memory is encoded: conceptually driven, top down: the person recognizes data before it is encoded. Priming using a stimulus to sensitize the nervous system to a later presentation of the same or similar stimulus. Short-term memory memory held only briefly for a few mins at most then discarded. Long-term memory information held for a longer time.
