We don't need a [[Hippocampus]] to ingrain this type of memory. The hippocampus is only needed for ingraining new declarative memories into [[Long term memory]]. This was shown by studying [[Henry Molaison]], a person who had his hippocampus surgically removed. Henry was able to get better at drawing a star in a mirror after coming back and trying it again every day even though he said he had no memory of practicing.
