Abstract

Psychologists have used numerous terms to describe and distinguish among various types of memory. Some of the most popular terms are briefly defined and illustrated according to their usage. These include broad distinctions such as explicit and implicit memory, conscious and unconscious forms of memory, voluntary and involuntary retention, intentional and incidental learning and retrieval, declarative and procedural memory, and retrospective and prospective memory. Additional forms of memory are discussed and organized in terms of their duration, ranging from brief sensory memories and short-term conscious memories to varieties of long-term memory.
