Semantic and Episodic Memory. Some people can remember poems they learned in school fifty years ago but continually forget where they put their car keys. While we might think of memory as a giant pool into which we dip for all the information we need--a pool that gradually drains as we get older--researchers have discovered that we may have two types of memory, each performing a different function. One is semantic, or fact, memory and the other is episodic, or event, memory. This paper discusses the two types of memories in semantic and episodic memory. 2 pgs. 1 f/c. 1b.
