Briefly answer the following questions: 1. Compare and contrast explicit and implicit memory. Give examples of each. 2. Discuss how procedural and implicit memory are related. 3. Describe the differences between Semantic and Episodic memories.

Holding on to explicit memories takes effort, you have to work for it. Whereas implicit memories are unconscious memories that one holds onto due to past experiences. Remembering the lyrics to your favorite song would be effortless, thus implicit, but do to certain tasks such as doctors appointments or running errands, that would be explicit. Procedural memories are a part of implicit memories, that both take little to no effort to hold onto. For instance once you learn to speak, throughout your life those memories are stored, but you do not have to work effortless to retrieve and use that information, it just comes naturally. Episodic memory includes one's personal experiences and recalling that information whereas semantic memory does not include personal experiences, and is based on factual knowledge and ideas relevant to many if not all people. It is just information on its on, not formed based on own personal elements.
