How do the terms declarative and nondeclarative apply to explicit and implicit memory? Provide your own example for each category.

Respuesta :

Answer:

The term declarative applies to explicit memory since we have to declare a specific trigger to remember something. For example, remember the names of previous teachers.

The term nondeclarative applies to implicit memory because we do not have to declare a word or sentence that brings a memory. We have incorporated the skill, so we do not have to think about how we do it. An example is driving a car.

Explanation:

Declarative and nondeclarative memory are two types of long term memory.  Explicit memory, also called declarative because when someone mentions a word or sentence, we bring back to our consciousness memories related to what was declared. On the other hand, nondeclarative memory does not need a trigger that brings the memory to consciousness. It is related to skills and how we do things. Once we learned them and have incorporated them, we do them automatically, like driving a car, walking, or writing.
