Describe the semantic memory.

Question

✓

Answer

Semantic memory is the memory of general awareness and knowledge.
All concepts, ideas and rules of logic are stored in semantic memory.
For instance, it is because of semantic memory that we remember that 2 + 6 = 8 or the STD code of New Delhi is 011.
This kind of memory is not dated; you perhaps will not be able to tell when you learnt the meaning of non-violence or on which date you came to know that Bangalore is the capital of Karnataka.
Since the contents of semantic memory relate to facts and ideas of general awareness and knowledge, it is affect-neutral and not susceptible to forgetting.
