Semantic memory refers to our long-term memory of meanings, understandings, and concepts that are not tied to a specific time or event. Procedural memory refers to memory for specific procedures or skills, such as riding a bike or typing on a keyboard. Universal memory and episodic memory are not relevant to this scenario.
