Last evening, carlos' mom told him he needed to buy milk today. so, he hopped on his bicycle this morning and headed to the corner store to pick up a gallon. explain how both implicit and explicit memories were involved in carlos' errand.

Explicit memory comprises episodes which can be conciously and intentionally recalled: personal events (episodic memory) facts and figures (semantic memory).

Carlos used his explicit memory when he remembers what his mother said the night before and acted accordingly.

Implicit memory is a experiential kind of memory which cannot be consciously recalled. In fact, they are related to subconscious or unconscious mechanisms.

Carlos used his implicit memory when he gets on top of his bike and unconsciously he remembers how to ride it.
