Procedural memory “Bunny ears, bunny ears, playing by a tree. Criss-crossed the tree, trying to catch me.” These basketball players might not remember childhood rhymes that helped them learn how to tie their shoes. And they might not remember the first time they tied their shoes correctly. But they do remember how to tie them. When it comes to shoe-tying, they have procedural memory, but probably not semantic or episodic memory.
