The hippocampus appears to be important for transfer from working memory to long term memory. cerebellum, the basal ganglia, and the motor cortex important for procedural memory. Memory consolidation: consolidation: process of converting information from working memory to long term memory.

Emotional arousal enhances strength of memory for an event. Speed estimates and reports of seeing broken glass increased from control group to third group. Memory impairments: anterograde amnesia: inability to form new declarative memories after event causing damage.
