ABSTRACT
A widely held belief in the area of implicit/explicit memory research is that implicit memory is revealed when previous experiences facilitate performance on a task that does not require conscious or intentional or deliberate remembrance of those experiences, whereas explicit memory is revealed when performance on a task requires conscious, intentional, or deliberate remembrance of previous experiences (cf. Schacter, 1987). Thus formulated, a key distinction between implicit and explicit memory tasks hinges on whatever is meant by the conscious, intentional, or deliberate remembrance.
