Types of LTM

1. Explicit/declarative: conscious memory

2. Implicit/non-declarative: memory that unconsciously influences behavior.

   • Procedural memory
     • “Skill Memory” – this is a memory for actions
       • Don’t know where/when we learned them
         • We aren’t consciously aware of how
           • Can learn new skills without ability to form LTMs (H.M.)
   • Priming
     • Graf et al., 1985 (slide 17 for graphs) - Amnesia patients w/ Korsakoff’s syndrome (alcoholism) - Alcoholics in treatment, but don’t have Korsakoff - Patients without amnesia w/ no history of alcoholism
