For example, they might show normal recognition of an object they had seen in the past, but fail to recollect when or where it had been viewed.

- Episodic memory

Under declarative memory resides semantic and episodic memory.

Declarative memory requires conscious recall, in that some conscious process must call back the information.

Explicit memory is the conscious, intentional recollection of factual information, previous experiences, and concepts.

Explicit memory can be divided into two categories: episodic memory, which stores specific personal experiences, and semantic memory, which stores factual information.

Long-term memory is commonly labelled as explicit memory (declarative), as well as episodic memory, semantic memory, autobiographical memory, and implicit memory (procedural memory).

This can happen quite naturally through reflection or deliberate recall (also known as recapitulation), often dependent on the perceived importance of the material.

Autobiographical memory is a memory system consisting of episodes recollected from an individual's life, based on a combination of episodic (personal experiences and specific objects, people and events experienced at particular time and place) and semantic (general knowledge and facts about the world) memory.

The observer perspective is an autobiographical memory recalled from an observer position, i.e. viewing the action as an outsider. In other words, the remembering person "sees" the whole situation, with themselves in it. The event is viewed from an external vantage point. There is a wide variation in the spatial locations of this external vantage point, with the location of these perspectives depending on the event being recalled.
