BRAIN SCANS : Research shows that different parts of the brain become active when different types of memories are being created. Episodic memories are associated with the hippocampus and other parts of the temporal lobe. Semantic memories are associated with the temporal lobe also and procedural memories are located at the cerebellum.

HM : His hippocampus was affected, he could not form new episodic or semantic memories but he could form new procedural memories which is evidence that there is a difference between procedural and declerative memories.

SEMANTIC MEMORIES: Studies on people with alzheimers, show that semantic memories can in fact be formed without episodic memories forming first. This suggest that these memories are indeed separate.

PRS: This stands for perceptual representation system. This is when priming is used to form implicit memories in participants to affect their response to stimulus. E.g. giving participants a list of words with the word yellow in it and asking them to name a fruit, most likely they would say banana.
