Mémoire sémantiqueEn psychologie cognitive, la mémoire sémantique est le système mnésique par lequel l'individu stocke ses connaissances générales : connaissances actuelles sur le monde, définitions de concepts abstraits La mémoire sémantique est un type de mémoire déclarative. En 1972, Endel Tulving propose de distinguer la mémoire épisodique et la mémoire sémantique comme deux composantes de la mémoire déclarative. La mémoire sémantique constitue une base de connaissances, un magasin d'informations que nous possédons tous et dont une grande partie nous est accessible rapidement et sans effort.
Recognition memoryRecognition memory, a subcategory of declarative memory, is the ability to recognize previously encountered events, objects, or people. When the previously experienced event is reexperienced, this environmental content is matched to stored memory representations, eliciting matching signals. As first established by psychology experiments in the 1970s, recognition memory for pictures is quite remarkable: humans can remember thousands of images at high accuracy after seeing each only once and only for a few seconds.
Implicit memoryIn psychology, implicit memory is one of the two main types of long-term human memory. It is acquired and used unconsciously, and can affect thoughts and behaviours. One of its most common forms is procedural memory, which allows people to perform certain tasks without conscious awareness of these previous experiences; for example, remembering how to tie one's shoes or ride a bicycle without consciously thinking about those activities.
