Implicit memory is a type of memory in which previous experiences aid in the performance of a task without conscious awareness of these previous experiences (Schacter, 1987). Evidence for implicit memory arises in priming, a process whereby subjects show improved performance on tasks for which they have been subconsciously prepared (Graf & Mandler, 1984). Implicit memory also leads to the illusion-of-truth effect, which suggests that subjects are more likely to rate as true statements that they have already heard, regardless of their veracity (Hasher, Goldstein, & Toppino, 1977).
