Psychologists of memory have long realised that our capacity to memorise facts or events is different from that of remembering physical skills. This kind of embodied memory has been an important component of anthropological concern with the theme, without any clear realisation of the fact. For example, Marcel Mauss's original theory of habitus, which he believed was the central notion of the techniques of the body, is undoubtedly related to this type of embodied memory (Mauss 1950)
