Abstract
The hippocampus and anatomically related structures in the medial temporal lobe support the capacity for declarative memory (Squire and Zola-Morgan 1991; Eichenbaum and Cohen 2001). Declarative memory refers to the capacity to recollect facts and events and has the defining features of being consciously accessible and flexible in its expression. Declarative memory can be contrasted to a collection of nondeclarative forms of memory that includes skills and habits, priming, and simple forms of conditioning. These forms of memory are supported by brain structures outside the medial temporal lobe. Nondeclarative memory is expressed through performance rather than recollection and what is learned is nonconscious and dependent on the original learning conditions for full expression.
