Short term memory: A bit like the RAM of a computer. It enables you to recall the last sentence of a coversation. It is crucial for performing some common operations in your head: adding numbers, composing a sentence, following directions, etc. Also like a computer as soon as you turn to something else it is gone; it does not become a permanent memory.
Long-term memory: is composed of all the facts, figures, and names you have ever learned. It is like the hard drive of a computer. Although no one knows exactly where this enormous database is stored, it is clear that the hippocampus is necessary to file away new memories as they occur.
Procedural memory: the most durable form. These are actions, habits, or skills that are learned simply by repetition. Examples include playing tennis, playing an instrument, solving a puzzle, etc. The hippocampus is not involved in procedural memory.

The hippocampus is critical for long term memory.
