| Declarative memory (“Knowing that”) |
|
| Episodic |
Place and time dependant, eg, I found ten pence at the train station this morning |
| Semantic |
Knowledge independent of time, eg, blue is a colour or that Paris is the capital of France |
| Autobiographical |
Memories for events and issues relating to oneself. Can be semantic, eg, knowing you own a dog, or episodic, eg, remembering receiving the dog as a present |
|
|
| Non‐declarative memory (“Knowing how”) |
|
| Procedural |
Skills such as knowing how to play the piano |
| Priming |
Enhanced response to something because of recent exposure to it (eg, after buying a new car, suddenly noticing many similar ones on the road) |
| Non‐associative |
A behavioural change brought by repeated presentation (eg, a loud crash that is initially startling and gradually becomes less so if it is repeated again and again) |
| Classical conditioning |
A response originally elicited by one stimulus, can now be elicited by another one that originally had no effect (eg, Pavlov turning the light on before feeding the dogs resulted in the dogs salivating to the light alone) |
