Semantic

Knowing that. e.g. facts, concepts. Semantic network of connections (neurons)

Episodic

Stories, events, about things

Slow access time, unlimited capacity, slow decay

Short-term (STM)

Interference only occurs when tasks utilize the same channel

Recency effect

7+- 2 items of information (Miller)

Chunk

eg when calculating basic maths or reading a sentence

Sensory
