Explicit memory is responsible for your long-term memories, such as where you went on vacation last year. Recollection of previous events or knowledge gained over time but not used on a regular basis are part of explicit memory.
In cases of explicit retention, people respond to a direct request for information about their past, and such tests are called explicit memory tests. In other types, people are asked to perform some task, and the measure of interest is how some prior experience affects the task.
