CHILD DEVELOPMENT PEDAGOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Procedural memory is a part of the long-term memory that is responsible for knowing how to do things, also known as motor skills. As the name implies, procedural memory stores information on how to perform certain procedures, such as walking, talking and riding a bike.

Detailed explanation-2: -Procedural memory is a part of the implicit long-term memory responsible for knowing how to do things, i.e. memory of motor skills. It does not involve conscious (i.e. it’s unconscious-automatic) thought and is not declarative. For example, procedural memory would involve knowledge of how to ride a bicycle.

Detailed explanation-3: -The cerebellum’s job is to process procedural memories; the hippocampus is where new memories are encoded; the amygdala helps determine what memories to store, and it plays a part in determining where the memories are stored based on whether we have a strong or weak emotional response to the event.

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.

Detailed explanation-5: -Procedural memory is a form of long-term memory that enables people to learn and execute tasks. It has been described as a kind of implicit memory: Unlike when a person recalls facts or images, someone using procedural memory may not be consciously aware that it’s being accessed.
