Episodic memory is responsible for storing information about events (episodes) and personal experiences, including the context, emotions, and other associated details. Semantic memory, on the other hand, deals with facts, concepts, and knowledge about the external world that is not tied to personal experiences. The inability to recall personal past life events while still knowing facts like the current president and today's date indicates a deficit in episodic memory but not in semantic memory.
