Two types of long term memory are procedural and episodic. Explain two differences

While procedural memory is mainly related to motor skills, episodic memory stores memories of life events meaning they have different purposes. Another difference is that episodic memory is declarative meaning it is quite easy to put the memories into words. This is different to procedural memory which is non-declarative making it hard to verbalize the memories.
