Procedural memory involves the memory of how to perform certain skills and behaviors, such as riding a bike or typing on a keyboard. Samantha's ability to remember how to wiggle her nose without being able to explain how she does it suggests that it is a procedural memory. Episodic memory involves recalling specific events or experiences, semantic memory involves remembering factual information, and mnemonic memory involves using strategies or techniques to remember information.
