DECLARATIVE/PROCEDURAL THEORY
The declarative/procedural (DP) model posits that the learning, storage, and use of language critically depend on two learning and memory systems in the brain:

DECLARATIVE MEMORY
PROCEDURAL MEMORY
is the memory of facts and events and refers to those memories that can be consciously recalled (or “declared”). It is sometimes called explicit memory since it consists of information that is explicitly stored and retrieved
Declarative memory can be further sub-divided into episodic memory and semantic memory
EXAMPLE: Being able to associate letters with their sounds
recalling how to use a phone, the name of your pet, your sister's wedding.

is the unconscious memory of skills and how to do things. These memories are typically acquired through repetition and practice and are composed of automatic sensorimotor behaviours that are so deeply embedded that we are no longer aware of them.
Procedural memory is sometimes referred to as implicit memory, because of previous experiences aid in the performance of a task
EXAMPLE: the use of objects or movements of the body, such as tying a shoelace, playing the guitar or riding a bike
