Human Brain Memory Techniques - Types of Memory Techniques

Memory, The ability to retain information or to recover information about previous experiences, is a function of the brain. When we remember something, a process takes place in which our brains recover and reconstruct information about things we have done or learned.

Types of Memory:

You may hear people refer to two types of memory: short term and long term. Short term is memory of recent knowledge and happening, while long term memory helps us recall events and knowledge of our past. Our brains also seem to have different, overlapping systems for the two primary types of memories:

Explicit memory: Also called declarative memories are those you recall consciously and describe verbally, such as facts, people, and places you encounter daily.

Implicit memory: Also called non declarative memory describes our capacity for leaning skills and procedures, including those used when playing golf or dancing.
