Procedural memory

Basic Characteristics

  • Description

Procedural memory can be described as strategies of execution that cannot be explicitly described. Procedural learning is essentially "learning by doing". Procedural memories are created by learning progressively with practice until there is automatization of the desired performance. These memories are not easily verbalized and can be done without consciously thinking. Examples of procedural memories include riding a bike, typing, swimming, and playing a musical instrument.

This particular type of memory is associated with the basal ganglia and frontal cortex activity. Neuropsychological tests which examine procedural memory include the star mirror tracing task and the Tower of Hanoi.
