procedural memory. Long term memory: Long term memory (LTM) is relatively permanent memory system which has an infinite capacity for storing information for an extensive period of time. Long term memory store s all the information which we do not need right now. Such information is not immediately active and need s to be retrieved back into our short term memory when the time comes to use it. Long term memory can be categorised into four types. · Procedural memory. · Declarative memory, divided into two parts, episodic memory, Semantic memory. Procedural memory is a type of long term memory it refers to your knowledge of skills or procedures. It allows you to remember how to do thing s such as how to ride a bike. EG: is look bel · **Definition ****- memory for how to do things ** · **Eg. ride a bike, drive a car, or play a video game **      · Characteristics  · **<span style="font-size: 13.5pt; color: red; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">* **<span style="font-size: 13.5pt; color: red; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Can be referred to as implicit memory. <span style="font-size: 12pt; color: red; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"> <span style="font-size: 12pt; color: red; font-family: Symbol; mso-fareast-font-family: Symbol; mso-bidi-font-family: Symbol; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; msofareastfontfamily: Symbol; msobidifontfamily: Symbol; msolist: Ignore; msoansilanguage: EN-US;">· **<span style="font-size: 13.5pt; color: red; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">* **<span style="font-size: 13.5pt; color: red; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">The contents of procedural long term memory cannot verbally be explained.

Practicing a certain task a lot or a little is procedural knowledge. Often a person will learn how to perform a task but will have no awareness of how it was learned. This occurs when the individual is using their procedural memory. <span style="font-size: 12pt; color: red; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">
