Abstract

Semantic  Memory:

      Semantic Memory is a form of (Long-Term) that is also refered to as Abstract Memory.   It has a huge capacity for recalling the meaning of events or objects.

      Abstract Memory is the store house of knowledge which is routed through the Hippocampus and seated in the Neocortex (the outer layer of the brain ... gray matter) of the Temporal, Parietal, and Occipital lobes.

      This is the form of memory for factual information that has been experienced in one's life or taught.   The source of the memory however, may not be recalled (giving rise to a phenomenon known as Infantile Amnesia) !
