Declarative Memory Procedural Memory
what is the difference between procedural and declarative memory?
Declarative memory refers to facts/information that you can report or ‘declare’, e.g. recalling the capitol city of your country (semantic) or what you did yesterday (episodic).
Procedural memory typically refers to memory for skills and ‘procedures’, usually motor functions which you can’t generally access/report verbally, e.g. a pianist cannot tell someone how they play the piano (they can tell you what they are thinking and what their hands are doing, but they can’t transfer their procedural memory to you through language).
To a fair extent, different brain areas are responsible for these types of memory learning (some brain damage patients have on effect but not the other, and vice versa).
