Neuroscience
Implicit memory is a type of memory in which previous experiences aid in the performance of a task without conscious awareness of these previous experiences. [ 1 ] Evidence for implicit memory arises in priming , a process whereby subjects are measured by how they have improved their performance on tasks for which they have been subconsciously prepared. [ 2 ] [ 3 ] Implicit memory also leads to the illusion-of-truth effect, which suggests that subjects are more likely to rate as true those statements that they have already heard, regardless of their veracity. [ 4 ] In daily life, people rely on implicit memory every day in the form of procedural memory , the type of memory that allows people to remember how to tie their shoes or ride a bicycle without consciously thinking about these activities. Research into implicit memory indicates that it operates through a different mental process from explicit memory . [ 1 ] [ edit ] Evidence and current research
