Abstract: According to the experimental dissociation paradigm, employing process dissociation procedure, an experiment was designed to investigate the forgetting characters of implicit and explicit memory through comparing the delayed performance of the two processing mechanisms of recognition The results showed that automaticity and recollection functionally differed from each other during the delays of 0, 6 minutes, 15 minutes, 1 hours and 7 days Especially from 0 to 15 minutes, recollection declined significantly, whereas automaticity declined unsignificantly It implied that implicit memory and explicit memory have different forgetting characters The results also showed that the effects of processing level on automaticity and recollection performance were different

Key words: implicit memory, explicit memory, forgetting
