Long-term memory

Long-term memory

1. Episodic memory

   • A long-term memory store for personal events. It includes memories of when the events occurred and of the people, objects, places and behaviours involved. Memories form this store have to be retrieved consciously and with effort.

2. Semantic Memory

   • A long-term memory store for our knowledge of the world. This includes facts and our knowledge of what words and concepts mean. These memories usually also need to be recalled deliberately.

3. Procedural memory

   • A long-term memory store for our knowledge of how to do things. This includes our memories of learned skills. We usually recall these memories without making a conscious or deliberate effort.
