Examples of explicit in the following topics:

  • Difference Between Economic and Accounting Profit

    • Economic profit consists of revenue minus implicit (opportunity) and explicit (monetary) costs; accounting profit consists of revenue minus explicit costs.
    • The accounting profit would be $40,000 ($100,000 in revenue - $60,000 in explicit costs).
    • The biggest difference between accounting and economic profit is that economic profit reflects explicit and implicit costs, while accounting profit considers only explicit costs.
    • Explicit costs are costs that involve direct monetary payment.
    • These consist of the explicit costs a firm has to maintain production (for example, wages, rent, and material costs).

  • Detail on Types of Long-Term Memory

    • Long-term memory consists of conscious explicit (declarative) and unconscious implicit (procedural) memory; both can be stored indefinitely.
    • Long Term Memory can be subdivided into different types based on whether the information is conscious (i.e., explicit) or unconscious (i.e., implicit) to the individual .
    • Explicit memory, also known as conscious or declarative memory, involves memory for facts, concepts and events that require conscious recall of the information.
    • Explicit memory can be further sub-divided into semantic memory, which concerns facts, and episodic memory, which concerns primarily personal or autobiographical information.
    • In contrast to explicit (conscious) memory, implicit memory involves procedures for completing actions.

  • Norms

    • Social norms are the explicit or implicit rules specifying what behaviors are acceptable within a society or group.
    • An example of an explicit social norm is a law, such as a law that prohibits alcohol use by anyone under the age of 21.
    • Explicit norms are often enforced by formal sanctions.
    • Social norms are the explicit or implicit rules specifying acceptable behaviors within a society or group.

  • Cost

    • The opportunity costs associated with any activity may be explicit, out of pocket, expenditures made in monetary units or implicit costs that involve sacrifice that is not measured in monetary terms.
    • In economics both implicit and explicit opportunity costs are considered in decision making.

  • Introduction to Sequences

    • An explicit definition of an arithmetic sequence is one in which the $n$th term is defined without making reference to the previous term.
    • To find the explicit definition of an arithmetic sequence, you just start writing out the terms.
    • From this you can see the generalization that $t_n = t_1+(n-1)d$, which is the explicit definition we were looking for.
    • The explicit definition of a geometric sequence is obtained in a similar way.

  • Long-Term Memory

    • Long-term memory can be broken down into two categories: explicit and implicit memory.
    • Explicit memory, also known as conscious or declarative memory, involves memory of facts, concepts, and events that require conscious recall of the information.
    • Explicit memory can be further subdivided into semantic memory, which concerns facts, and episodic memory, which concerns primarily personal or autobiographical information.
    • In contrast to explicit (conscious) memory, implicit (also called "unconscious" or "procedural") memory involves procedures for completing actions.

  • Implicit Differentiation

    • However, various numerical methods exist for computing approximately the value of $y$ corresponding to any fixed value of $x$; this allows us to find an explicit approximation to the implicit function.
    • Previously, the functions we have investigated were explicit functions of one variable with respect to another.
    • $y= x^2$ is an explicit function because it shows you exactly what $y$ is with respect to $x$.

  • Calculations for the t-Test: One Sample

    • The following is a discussion on explicit expressions that can be used to carry out various $t$-tests.
    • The following is a discussion on explicit expressions that can be used to carry out various $t$-tests.

  • A Useful Mnemonic Rule

    • Although this modest mnemonic does not make explicit use of molecular orbitals, more rigorous methods that are founded on the characteristics of such orbitals have provided important insight into these reactions.

  • Introduction

    • In each of the following examples, affective learning outcomes are linked to explicit cognitive goals.
