Yes, there are three types of memory – sensory (we can remember sth for a few seconds by iconic or echoic memory – like Clive remembers 7 second), short-term (we remember about 30 seconds and about 7 items) and long-term memory which is divided into explicit and implicit memory. Jill Price has a very good explicit memory, especially episodic memory because she can recall all the autobiographical events from her life. And semantic memory is responsible for all the knowledge that we acquire all life. Procedural memory is responsible for remembering for example how to ride a bike. So I think Clive Wearnig didn’t lose his semantic and procedural memory because he still knows how to play the piano.
