Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Semantic memory is the type of long-term memory that deals with general knowledge and concepts about the world, including historical events like the Cold War. David's ability to recall the events of the Cold War suggests that he has stored this information in his semantic memory. Procedural memory is focused on skills and how to do things (like riding a bike), sensory memory is brief and fleeting information gathered through the senses, and flashbulb memory is a type of episodic memory associated with emotionally significant events. None of these types of memory would be as relevant to David's ability to recount the history of the Cold War.
