Non-declarative memory
Non-declarative memory is part of long-term memory. It encompasses automated behaviors, learned skills, and habits that usually occur unconsciously. In contrast to declarative memory, the contents of non-declarative memory are difficult or impossible to express verbally. Non-declarative memory includes procedural learning and priming, among other things.

working memory
A form of memory, often used synonymously with the term "short-term memory." However, many theorists clearly distinguish between the two concepts with regard to the manipulation of information in working memory. It temporarily retains information, including newly acquired information and memory content from long-term memory that is associated with the new information. In the model developed by Alan Baddeley and Graham Hitch, it includes a central executive, a phonological loop, an episodic buffer, and a visuospatial sketchpad.
