This knowledge that is easily recalled is explicit knowledge, whereas most long-term memory is implicit knowledge and is not readily retrievable. Scientists speculate that the hippocampus is involved in the creation of long-term memory. It is unclear where long-term memory is stored, although there is evidence depicting long-term memory is stored in various parts of the nervous system.
Explicit knowledge refers to information that can be quickly accessed, whereas most long-term memory is implicit and hard to retrieve. Researchers suggest that the hippocampus is involved in creating long-term memory. The location where long-term memory is stored remains unclear, but there is evidence suggesting it may be located in multiple areas of the nervous system.
