Difference Between Semantic Memory And Procedural Memory
Professor & Classmates,
Long-term memory, is commonly divided into three specific categories, episodic memory, semantic memory and procedural memory. Episodic memory refers to the memories one has of him/her self, a sort of autobiographical memory (Matlin, 2012). The other form of explicit memory and the counterpart to episodic memory is semantic memory. Matlin (2012) defines semantic memory as “describ[ing] your organized knowledge about the world, including knowledge about words and other factual information” (p. 127). Finally, there is procedural memory, which is our knowledge of how to perform things (Matlin, 2012).
Episodic memories are my memories of my life. An example of one of my episodic memories would be the memory of my first day
