Method: This was an experimental study and was carried out individually using a computerized measuring tool on 160 students. Data were analyzed using three-way ANOVA. Results: Focused attention, interest in the subject of study, and deep processing brought about the highest degree of explicit memory function. In contrast, shallow processing, divided attention, and lack of interest led to the lowest function of explicit memory. Conclusion: The effects of variables on explicit and implicit memory were different in some aspects. Interest, attention, and level of processing ranked first to third respectively in their effects on explicit memory; and interest and attention ranked first and second respectively in their effect on implicit memory. The level- of- processing did not have a significant effect on implicit memory. CP - IRAN IN - University of Science and Culture, Tehran, Iran. LG - eng PB - icss PG - 22 PT - Research YR - 2007
