  • Summary

    This chapter discusses short-term or working memory; declarative or explicit memory with a focus on whether the distinction between semantic and episodic memory is valid; priming or item-specific implicit memory (ISIM); and skills, habits and conditioning. It explains on what brain regions and kinds of memory process they depend. The chapter suggests a new way of organizing thinking about some of the memory processes. Just as ISIM is a form of unaware memory, skills and conditioning do not depend on aware memory although they may be incidentally accompanied by it. It is less clear to what extent ISIM and explicit memory depend on non-overlapping memory systems. There is some evidence that short-term memory, explicit memory, skill memory and classical conditioning depend on partially non-overlapping regions of the brain. Retrieval of a memory representation is not sufficient because it might have arisen from imagination and/or have remained in ISIM.
