Declarative Memory

Basic Characteristics

  • Description

Declarative memory is an aspect of human memory that stores facts, or explicit memories. Declarative memories are known as declarative memories because they are conscious memories that can be mentally and physically declared or discussed. Memories are encoded through conscious learning and can often be learned quickly, through a single trial. There are two types of memories which occur under declarative memory semantic memory and episodic memory. Semantic memory is known as factual knowledge that is independent of time and place. And episodic memory is theoretical knowledge of a specific moment in time, place or personal experience. Deficits in declarative memory are associated with various mental illnesses including Alzheimer’s disease and Bipolar Disorder.
