Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Daisy's ability to remember facts about countries, things, places, and famous people suggests that her semantic memory (memory for general knowledge) is intact. However, her inability to remember past experiences, such as what she did last week and her childhood experiences, suggests that her episodic memory (memory for specific events) is impaired. This indicates that her long-term memory is not completely impaired, as she is still able to retain some information. Her sensory memory and procedural memory are not mentioned in the scenario and cannot be inferred from the given information.
