Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Semantic knowledge refers to general knowledge about the world and language, while episodic memory refers to specific memories of events that occurred at a particular time and place. Semantic knowledge contributes to the development of episodic memory by providing a framework for understanding and organizing new experiences, which can then be stored and retrieved as specific memories. Autobiographical knowledge (choice B) is a type of episodic memory that specifically pertains to one's own personal experiences, while long-term and short-term (choice A) and gist and verbatim (choice D) do not directly relate to the development of episodic memory.
