In studies of amnesia, procedural/declarative distinction more meaningful. Procedural memory: storage of skills & procedures, very important in motor performance, supported by memory systems that are independent of hippocampal formation. Models of memory: serial models, atkinson-shiffrin model; levels of processing model; tulving"s model, parallel model: parallel distributed processing model. Influenced by your views, biases etc. which is why people have different representations in their memory of same events. Info retained according to level of processing it has undergone: shallow-deep continuum, maintenance very elaborative rehearsal. Tulving"s model of memory (1972, 1983, 2001: stm - ltm (cf.
