Line 24:

I have never heard of "muscle memory" but procedural memory is a very basic concept in cognitive psychology that every psychology undergraduate student knows. I do not believe that these two articles should be combined. Procedural memory is an important psychological concept. Look up any undergraduate psych textbook (you won't see 'muscle memory' mentioned).

As seen above there are people who've heard of one and not the other. For that reason alone I would think that keeping them separate BUT with appropriate cross links would serve the community better. My still limited understanding of the processes suggest that persons looking at "muscle memory" would tend to be interested from the view point of sports whereas "procedural memory" seems to be more oriented toward cognitive issues such as language.
