Introduction

Most people would say memory is a storage that has been induced in a human brain in order
to store information. However, to precisely say it, memory is an occurrence of recollection (Zemach, 1968)
which explains how humans recall things in their mind occasionally and quite consistently. There are plenty
of fractions of the types of memory in the human brain which are short-term and long-term memory. They
have their own functions (Cowan, 2008). The topic of this report is going to be leaning more towards long-
term memory and its functions are divided into two which are explicit or declarative and implicit or non-
declarative functions. Explicit functions consist of episodic and semantic memory whereas implicit function
consists of procedural memory (Tulving, 1972).
