They are referring to "implicit" memory.

Implicit memory
which is also alluded to as oblivious memory or automatic memory or as called non-declarative memory in the question utilizes past encounters to recall things without considering them. The execution of implicit memory is empowered by past encounters; regardless of to what extent back those encounters happened.
