Begin by understanding the different types of memory. Memory can be broadly categorized into explicit (or declarative) memory and implicit (or non-declarative) memory.
Explicit memory involves conscious recollection of information and can be further divided into semantic memory and episodic memory.
Semantic memory refers to the memory of facts, concepts, and general knowledge about the world. It is not tied to personal experiences.
Episodic memory, on the other hand, involves the recollection of personal experiences and specific events, including the context in which they occurred.
Implicit memory includes procedural memory, which involves skills and tasks that can be performed without conscious awareness, such as riding a bike or playing an instrument.
