“Long-Term—Explicit—Episodic Memory: Episodic memory is one type of explicit memory. Episodic memory provides us with a crucial record of our personal experiences. It is our episodic memory that allows us to remember the trip we took to Vegas, what we had for dinner last night, who told us that our friend Maryann was pregnant. Any past event in which we played a part, and which we remember as an “episode” (a scene of events) is episodic. This form of memory appears to be centered in the brain’s hippocampus—with considerable help from the cerebral cortex.” #схватил_за_мозг - × × ×
“Long-Term—Implicit—Priming: Implicit memory can also come about from priming. You are “primed” by your experiences; if you have heard something very recently, or many more times than another thing, you are primed to recall it more quickly. For instance, if you were asked to name an American city that starts with the letters “Ch,” you would most likely answer Chicago, unless you have a close personal connection to or recent experience with another “Ch” city (Charlotte, Cheyenne, Charleston…) because you’ve heard about Chicago more often. In the brain, the neural pathways representing things we have experienced more often are more salient than those for things with which we have fewer experiences.” - × × ×
