Understand the different types of long-term memory: Semantic memory involves the recall of general facts and knowledge, while episodic memory involves personal experiences and specific events.
Consider the nature of the information Kanye recalled: It is a factual piece of information about Wilhelm Wundt and the history of psychology.
Determine if the information is a general fact or a personal experience: Since Kanye is recalling a historical fact, it aligns with general knowledge rather than a personal event.
Identify the type of memory associated with recalling factual information: Semantic memory is responsible for storing and recalling general world knowledge and facts.
Conclude that Kanye's recall of Wilhelm Wundt as the 'Father of Psychology' is an example of semantic memory, as it involves retrieving factual information from long-term memory.
