Proposed merger with Explicit memory

Within biology, the term "explicit memory" is more commonly used than "declarative memory".

I think they should be merged into this one.--Jeiki Rebirth 22:17, 17 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Since neurology per definition is referred to the branch of medicine that studies/deals with somatic illness in the nervous system, it is technically wrong to talk about "the neurology of declarative memory" in general. This is why I changed the title to "neuropsychology", which anyway is traditionally the most common branch of science studying biological foundation of memory. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.165.60.60 (talkcontribs) 01:41, May 20, 2006

Declarative memory and explicit memory are, while similar, quite different. declarative memory not only deals with experiences but also with facts. for instance, you can remember that something has happened which is basically episodic memory included in explicit memory and declarative) but you can also remember that something can happen as a recalled fact (semantic) which is a type of declarative memory, not explicit. as seperate terms in psychology, declarative and explicit should remain seperate articles on wikipedia, but by all means can each could be mentioned briefly in eachother's articles to help clarify for some people. —Preceding unsigned comment added by GuitarDemon16:36, September 30, 2006 (talkcontribs) |

Searching problem

Why don't I find this page when I search for "declaritive memory"? How do I fix this?--Jeiki Rebirth 22:17, 17 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Because you misspelled "declarative memory." Stevenmitchell (talk) 04:46, 7 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed Example

How about using "The apple that I ate during my last visit home was very tasty" (or something like this) an example for episodic memory? This would help the reader understand the difference better. wneo (talk) 07:07, 22 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
