Explicit memories are those that we consciously try to remember, recall and report. That is, it is related to every conscious effort we make to memorize experiences and learnings, such as images and words.
And it can be subdivided into:
- Episodic memory, which is related to personal events in a person's life.
- Semantic memory, which is related to factual information such as words, concepts and ideas.
This ability to retain, remember and recall explicit memory is dependent on:
- Hippocampus
- Parahippocampus
Other structures involved in the formation of explicit memory are:
- Lateral Prefrontal Cortex, whose function is to form the details that will be remembered in an experience.
- Amygdala, which is involved in encoding and retrieving certain emotional memories.
When a person has a first experience, a link is formed in the hippocampus that allows for future recall of the event.
In this way, neurons are activated according to an event and links are created that connect to that event and allow them to distinguish and remember past experiences.
