Document Summary
Things or objects are recognized and grouped together because they are similar to each other. Procedural memory = memory for procedures how to ride a bike, drive, make coffee. Declarative memory facts that you have memories you declare exist. Non-declarative/procedural memory memory of things that are difficult to declare the existence of, such as procedural memory and motor memory. Episodic memory memory for personal events in the past can be thinking forward in time (what i am going to do this weekend prospective) Semantic memories for facts your address, email no particular time component time memory for when you learned that fact. Over time you strengthen the associations with long term memory and outputs. Spreading activation can assist the connections between the long term memory systems and the outputs decisions, problem solving the more memories you have in a domain the better your outputs.
