Episodic Memory and Semantic Memory.
Explicit memory is one of the two major subdivisions of long-term memory. It requires conscious thought and its often associative, which menas that your brain links memories together.
There are two types of Explicit memory: Episodic memory and Semantic memory. Episodic Memory is autobiographical; it provides us with a crucial record of our personal experiences. Any past event in which we played a part and which we remember as a scene of events is episodic.
Semantic memory accounts for our "textbook learning", or general knowledge about the world. Is what enables us to say, without knowing exactly when and where we learned, that a zebra is a striped animal, for example.
