Detailed explanation-1: -An example of a flashbulb memory is the assassination of the US president John F. Kennedy in 1963 and recalling the moment you learned of the death of Princess Diana in 1997.
Detailed explanation-2: -Implicit memory, often referred to as nondeclarative memory, does not require the conscious or explicit recollection of past events or information, and the individual is unaware that remembering has occurred. Implicit memory is usually thought of in terms of procedural memory, but also involves the process of priming.
Detailed explanation-3: -Some examples of implicit memory include knowing how to play the piano, ride a bike; tie your shoes and other motor skills. These skills involve procedural knowledge which involves “knowing how” to do things.
Detailed explanation-4: -Declarative memory is also known as explicit memory, as it consists of information that is explicitly stored and involves conscious effort to be retrieved. This means that you are consciously aware when you are storing and recalling information.
