list of dates for your history class), this information is stored in your explicit memory. We use these
memories every day, from remembering information for a test to recalling the date and time of a
doctor's appointment. This type of memory is also known as declarative memory since you can
consciously recall and explain the information.

remembering what time you are meeting a friend to go to a movie.
