Abstract: This article compared the effect of picture fragmentation level at the test on performance in the tasks of implicit and explicit memory. The expedmental dissociation between these two types of tasks was discovered: the implicit task of picture identification was influenced by this manipulation, While the explicit task of yes/ no recognition was not. Also, the dependent relationship between these two tasks was discovered by successive tests. Contrast to relative studies, the results concluded that ( 1 ) conceptually-driven tasks were sensitive to surface information of the stimulus at the study, data-driven tasks were sensitive to them both at the study and the test, (2) during the test both conceptually-driven and data-driven tasks prossess similar components of stimulus.

Key words: implicit memory, explicit memory, prime stimulus, target stimulus
