(explicit memory) -- this is a type of long-term memory in which we store memories of fact. In addition, declarative memory is divided further into semantic and episodic memories (please look those up for complete definitions). So, if you have memories of things such as when Columbus sailed to America or what day and time your baby brother was born, you have declarative memories.
Memory that is directly accessible and that one has conscious awareness of.
a single form of memory embracing episodic and semantic components.
The conscious recollection of facts and events; also called explicit memory.
Declarative memory is the aspect of memory that stores facts and events. It applies to standard textbook learning and knowledge. It is based on pairing the stimulus and the correct response. For example, the question "What is the capital of Sierra Leone?" is paired with the answer "Freetown". The name declarative comes from the fact that we can explicitly "ask" our brain to make a connection between a pair of stimuli. Declarative memory is subject to forgetting and requires repetition to last for years. Declarative memories are best established by using active recall combined with mnemonic techniques and spaced repetition.
Recalling newly learned information about people, places and things.
Declarative memory is the aspect of human memory that stores facts and experiences. It is so called because it refers to memories that can be consciously discussed, or declared. It applies to standard textbook learning and knowledge, as well memories that can be 'travelled back to' in one's 'mind's eye'.
