Semantic Memory
Semantic memory is a category of explicit memory that stores knowledge about words, concepts, and language-based facts. This type of memory is typically reported as objective facts rather than personal stories. It encompasses general knowledge about the world, such as the definition of 'psychology' or the name of the first African American president of the United States.
