What is explicit memory

Explicit memory, also known as declarative memory, is a type of long-term memory that involves the conscious recall of facts and events. It's the memory you can intentionally retrieve and "declare" or talk about. This type of memory is further divided into two subtypes: episodic memory (memory of personal experiences and specific events, like your first day of school) and semantic memory (general knowledge and facts about the world, like knowing that Paris is the capital of France).
