nondeclarative memory

a collection of various forms of memory that operate automatically and accumulate information that is not accessible to conscious recollection. For instance, one can do something faster if one has done it before, even if one cannot recall the earlier performance. Nondeclarative memory includes procedural learning and priming. It does not depend on the medial temporal lobes and is preserved in individuals with medial temporal amnesia. Compare declarative memory.
