Mr. Nydam's experience shows that he is able to improve in his golf game even though he cannot remember playing frequently, suggesting that his improved performance is the result of implicit memory (unconscious memory that affects behavior without awareness) rather than explicit memory (conscious memory of facts and events). This distinction is important because different types of memory processes can affect learning and performance in different ways.
