Memory is one of the most widely studied cognitive domains. In clinical practice, it is of importance to know the basic typesof memory classification and to be familiar with the selection of memory tests. Diagnosing memory disorders requires specificskills that should stem from a good knowledge of memory disorders and of their most frequent causes. The main emphasis inroutine neuropsychological memory testing is placed on administering specific screening or complex memory tests; however,observation and an interview with both the patient and his or her carers also play a significant role.

Keywords: explicit memory, implicit memory, long-term memory, short-term memory, memory, neuropsychological assessment
