1 - encoding - arousal and attention - receiving and attending - LPC

Episodic memory
remember certain event
semantic
common knowledge
Procedural memory
complete without describing
walking with no description
not conscious
repetition
- cognitive - get idea
- associative - less effort
- automatic

learning - frontal, parietal and BG
storage - supplementary motor are, BG
adjustment to environmental changes - cerebellum parietal cortex, motor cortex
