Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Semantic memory is the type of long-term memory that involves the storage of information about concepts, including knowledge about language (vocabulary, grammar rules) and general facts (e.g., the capital of France). Other types of memory include procedural memory (knowing how to do things, such as riding a bike) and episodic memory (personal experiences and events). Sensory memory is very brief and involves the initial processing of stimuli from the environment.
