Two types of long-term memory are procedural memory and episodic memory. Explain two differences between procedural memory and episodic memory. (4 marks)

Procedural memory is part of the long-term memory which is responsible for knowing how to do things i.e. memories of motor skills (for example, riding a bike). Episodic memory, on the other hand, is responsible for storing information about life events that we have experienced (for example, remembering a specific birthday party) .Another difference is that procedural memories do not involve conscious thought and are not declarative (i.e. they are difficult to explain verbally), whereas episodic memories do involve conscious thought and are declarative.
