explicit memory









































explicit memory (or declarative memory) is one of the two main types of long-term human memory. it is the conscious, intentional recollection of factual information, previous experiences, and concepts. explicit memory can be divided into two categories: "episodic memory", which stores specific personal experiences, and "semantic memory", which stores factual information.









































declarative memory's counterpart is known as implicit memory (a type being procedural memory), which refers to unconscious memories such as skills (e.g. knowing how to get dressed, eat, drive, ride a bicycle without having to re-learn the skill each time).

modules are only somewhat generic in structure; the rest is very specific to each module, since each module operates with its own code. visual memory contains elements that only the visual processor can access; syntactic memory contains elements that only the syntactic processor can deal with, and so on. while jackendoff prefers to think of working memory as a separate blackboard onto which elements of long-term memory are written, in mogul the alternative view of the working-memory blackboard is adopted: it is part of the unified memory system, and elements are raised to the working memory "surface" within the same store. in both versions, elements must cross an activation threshold to be visible to the integrative processor.) note that memory is modularised, so visual memory (including visual working memory) is separate from – and independent of – for example, phonological memory. modules, useless if entirely autonomous and cut off from other parts of the system as a whole, require some way whereby they can link up and cooperate. this is done by means of interface processors matching structural elements in the memory stores of adjacent modules. the cognitive system as a whole copes with a multitude of different tasks like tying a knot, listening to a speech, driving through a busy city and salsa-dancing by forming appropriate coalitions of processors producing assemblies of structures (linked together via appropriate interfaces) from different modules. the generic structure of a mogul module (based on jackendoff's model) is portrayed in the figure on the right, and also reflected in various places in the third figure in this article (see "mogul architecture in a nutshell" below).
