Reviews and perspectivesBrain substrates of implicit and explicit memory: The importance of concurrently acquired neural signals of both memory types
Section snippets
Explicit memory and perceptual implicit memory
Identifying neural correlates of perceptual implicit memory processes uncontaminated by those of explicit memory processes is problematic because of the difficulty of preventing subjects from recalling prior episodes or recognizing repeated stimuli during priming tests. Similarly, automatic perceptual implicit memory processing may occur during explicit memory tests, even if no indications of perceptual implicit memory are observed in behavior, and this processing can potentially be reflected
Explicit memory and conceptual implicit memory
Conceptual implicit memory can occur when concepts are repeated, and behavioral measures of conceptual implicit memory are similar to those of perceptual implicit memory in that they can occur in the absence of awareness of remembering and typically take the form of faster or more accurate responses to a specific stimulus in a conceptual priming test. These alterations of behavioral responses are thought to reflect facilitated processing of relevant meaning, and potentially support some of the

2018, NeuropsychologiaCitation Excerpt :To reduce the difficulty of the task for participants less familiar with use of keyboards, all other keys on the keyboard had been removed. Incorporating multiple memory faculties into a single paradigm, as in the emotional enhancement effect-repetition paradigm used in this study, facilitates the interpretation of resultant interaction effects (Kennedyet al, 2009; Voss and Paller, 2008, 2009). 360 trials were performed altogether in 3 blocks of 120 trials each.
