Semantic memory is the type of memory that retrieves general knowledge and factual information. It includes remembering concepts, meanings, and names of objects, places, and people. Recalling the president is a factual piece of information, and the capital of Japan is general knowledge, thus making it a part of semantic memory. The other options, such as implicit memory, episodic memory, and autobiographical memory, involve personal experiences, emotions, and skills.
