In memory studies, which term describes personal life experiences versus general knowledge about the world?
A. explicit, implicit
B. episodic, semantic
Correct
C. semantic, episodic
D. implicit, explicit
Current Explanation
Episodic memory refers to the collection of personal experiences and specific events occurring at a particular time and place. In contrast, semantic memory involves general knowledge, facts, and concepts about the world that are not tied to a specific personal experience. Both are types of explicit memory, which involves conscious recollection of information.
