Nondeclarative memory, which includes procedural memory such as how to ride a bike or swim, tends to be more resistant to the effects of Alzheimer's disease compared to declarative memory (semantic and episodic). This is because nondeclarative memory involves different brain areas, primarily the basal ganglia and cerebellum, which are less affected in the early to middle stages of Alzheimer's disease.
