Implicit memoryimplicit

Implicit memory is the type of memory that works wordlessly and automatically. Remembering how to do a skill without thinking, or reacting automatically to a situation, is the working of this memory. Unlike explicit memory, implicit memory requires no conscious recall; it shows itself directly in behavior and in the body. This concept explains why the past is often lived not as a narrative but as a reaction. The body's automatic reactions are often the traces of this implicit memory.
