The traditional model of memory proposes that different types of long term memory are processed in separate brain modules.

Researchers have investigated the shared and unique neural processes that underlie different types of long-term memory: general semantic, personal semantic and episodic memory. Long-term memory can be ...

Semantic memory is a form of long-term memory that comprises a person’s knowledge about the world. Along with episodic memory, it is considered a kind of explicit memory, because a person is ...

A new study into how different parts of memory work in the brain has shown that the same brain areas are involved in retrieving different types of information, according to researchers from the School ...

It's the feeling of personally remembering. For semantic memories, this sense is not as strong—you can have detached knowledge without the context of "how" and "when." For instance, I know that ...

A new brain imaging study reveals that remembering facts and recalling life events activate nearly identical brain networks. Researchers expected clear differences but instead found strong overlap ...

Edith Cowan University provides funding as a member of The Conversation AU. You might say you have a “bad memory” because you don’t remember what cake you had at your last birthday party or the plot ...
