AP PSYCHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Skills such as playing an instrument or riding a bicycle are, however, anchored in a separate system, called procedural memory. As its name implies, this type of memory is responsible for performance.

Detailed explanation-2: -Procedural memory is defined as the memory system in charge of the encoding, storage, and retrieval of the procedures (rather than episodes) that underlie motor, visuospatial, or cognitive skills.

Detailed explanation-3: -Implicit memory involves remembering how to complete tasks that do not require conscious effort. It is also sometimes called non-declarative memory. Remembering how to ride a bicycle or tie your shoes are examples of implicit memory.

Detailed explanation-4: -Procedural memory refers to our knowledge of skills and how to perform tasks, and is something we mostly remember automatically. We generally don’t need to consciously think about how to ride a bike or play an instrument: we simply go through the motions once we’ve learned how to do it.
