According to Tulving, what are the three types of long-term memory?

Tulving stated the three divisions of long-term memory (LTM) are episodic, semantic and procedural. Episodic = memories of events, including the locations and people involved. These are recalled consciously and with effort Semantic = memories of knowledge of the world and facts. Recalled consciously and deliberately Procedural = memories on how to do things, e.g. tie shoelaces. Recalled without conscious or deliberate effort.
