Explicit and Implicit memory in regards to maintaining confidence and frame

The way he describes implicit memory is slightly incorrect.. It is not a physical thing or something that you memorize..

To start out, explicit memory and associations are those cognitions that you are aware of and can report on. These are things like.. I know that I have a preference for (______).

Implicit memory and associations are not things that you memorize. These are things that you are not consciously aware are there but influence your behavior. You really cannot change your implicit memory or associations without turning them into explicit associations.

Implicit memory and associations will affect your behavior and your attitudes without you realizing it. This could be like.. Even if you explicitly say that you have no preference for white people, in an IAT test your implicit preference for white people will show up.

I'm not really sure where this guy was going with it but I could see how these two things could relate to TRP. People come here, read the quick solutions and then "change" their outward facade by talking the talk. The thing is, their implicit memory, associations, preferences and attitudes remain. This creates cognitive dissonance which then undermines their fake confidence.

Maybe what he's saying is it's easy to change your explicit attitudes but it takes a lot of cognitive resources to isolate your implicit attitudes and this is what you need to do if you truly want to see change. I'm not sure though because I didnt stay the whole time to watch him stare into the camera.
