Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Episodic memory refers to the personal experience of events and Deanna's memory of her 21st birthday would fall under this category. Her ability to remember the events of that specific day would be affected by the excessive drinking which would impair her episodic memory. Working memory refers to the ability to hold and manipulate information temporarily in the mind. Procedural memory involves the learning and recall of certain actions and skills, such as riding a bike or tying shoes. Semantic memory deals with general knowledge and facts about the world. None of these types of memory are directly related to Deanna's ability to remember her 21st birthday.
