Permanently last long
Flashback memory

Explicit memory
Hippocampus deals with facts and experiences
Implicit memory
Cerellbum controls skills and procedures
What are the three reasons for encoding failures?
Unimportant in context, not necessary to know , & decrease in brain’s encoding

Proactive memory
Old disrupts new
Retroactive memory
More recent disrupts the recall of older memory
