Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Explicit memory is the conscious and intentional recollection of previous experiences or information. Naming the people present at a recent party involves conscious and intentional retrieval of previously stored information and therefore comes under the domain of explicit memory. Playing a musical instrument or soccer, and typing with high speed and accuracy are skills that may have been acquired through practice and repetition but do not necessarily involve conscious recollection of previous experiences or information. Therefore, they do not fall under the domain of explicit memory.
