    • Episodic:
      Explicit memories of events. These memories also include the time stamp, the context and emotions associated with the event. We make a conscious effort to recall these.
    • Semantic:
      Memory for facts and knowledge. This is a type of explicit memory. Semantic memories usually start as episodic memories but progressively lose their association with particular events and only the knowledge remains.
    • Procedural:
      Memory of how to do things. These memories require a lot of repetition and practice. They are implicit , meaning we find them very difficult to explain even if we find the actions easy to perform. Procedural memories are automatic.
