- semantic memory
- This store contains our knowledge of the world
- 1) includes facts but in a broad way and it is likened to a dictionary and encyclopedia
- 2) you will know how to apply to uni, what oranges taste like and what words mean
- 3) not time stamped (e.g. you don't know when you learnt what "love" means), it contins immense amounts of material that keep getting added to.

- Procedural memory
- this is our memory for actions, skills or basically how we do things
- 1) we can recall the memories without conscious awareness or a great deal of effort
- 2) e.g. driving a car - change gear without thinking about what to do
- 3) it is harder to explain so if you are driving and explaining what you're doing, driving becomes a harder task
- this is our memory for actions, skills or basically how we do things
- evaluation extra
- problems with clinicall evidence
- three types of LTM or two? - Cohen and Squire
