What is episodic memory?
Ability to recall events from our lives. 1. Remember when and what happened. 2. Can include several elements (ex. People, places, objects) 3. Requires conscious effort to recall
What is semantic memory?
Shared knowledge of the world. You can’t remember when you learnt it. Less personal and need to be recalled deliberately
What is procedural memory?
Unconscious skills
Strengths and weaknesses
