TLDR
An attempt is made to account for the ability of severely amnesic patients to learn and retain certain tasks but not others, and it is suggested that at the functional level, a "cognitive mediational memory system" and a semantic memory system are disconnected in the amnesia patient.

Implicit memory: History and current status.

TL;DR: A survey of implicit memory and its relation to explicit memory can be found in this paper, where the authors present an historical survey of observations concerning implicit memory, reviews the findings of contemporary experimental research, and delineates the strengths and weaknesses of alternative theoretical accounts of implicit memories.

Attentional requirements of learning: Evidence from performance measures

TL;DR: This article investigated whether performance measures would also show a strong dependence on attention and found that patients with Korsakoff's syndrome learned the sequence despite their lack of awareness of the repeating pattern.

Implicit learning and tacit knowledge

TL;DR: Implicit learning as mentioned in this paper is the process by which knowledge about the ralegoverned complexities of the stimulus environment is acquired independently of conscious attempts to do so, and it can be used implicitly to solve problems and make accurate decisions about novel stimulus circumstances.

How many memory systems are there

TL;DR: In this paper, a ternary clas- sificatory scheme of memory is proposed in which procedural, semantic, and episodic memory constitute a "monohierarchical" arrangement.

Hippocampus, space, and memory

TL;DR: It is proposed that the hippocampus is selectively involved in behaviors that require working memory, irrespective of the type of material (spatial or nonspatial) that is to be processed by that memory.
Journal ArticleDOI

The selective impairment of semantic memory.

TL;DR: Evidence is presented that this impairment of semantic memory cannot be accounted for by intellectual impairment, sensory or perceptual deficits, or expressive language disorder, and some tentative evidence for the structural basis for a hierarchically organized modality-specific semantic memory system is discussed.
