Question
Compare and contrast.
Semantic memory - Episodic memory
Solution
Semantic memory and Episodic memory are types of declarative (explicit) memory. Semantic memory is a more structured record of knowledge, facts, concepts, rules of logic and grammar, etc. It is considered to be very stable as information is stored in a highly organized form from general to specific categories. Complex cognitive activities like perception, language, etc., are possible due to semantic memory. Episodic memory stores information about personal life experiences or specific events. It does not have a logical organization and is more susceptible to forgetting. It is important in social interactions and communications. Both types of memory are important for the normal functioning of a person.
