Autobiographical memory
Autobiographical memory, which is sometimes used interchangeably with episodic memory, refers to memory for specific life events. These memories can contain both episodic elements (the experience of the event) and semantic elements (facts about the event). For example, remembering a birthday party involves an episodic memory of the event itself, while knowing you received a specific gift is a personal semantic memory.
