About

Semantic memory is a long-term memory system dedicated to storing general world knowledge, concepts, and vocabulary. This academic concept investigates the cognitive processes underlying the acquisition, organization, and retrieval of factual information and abstract concepts, independent of specific personal experiences. Its key characteristics include its declarative nature and its structured organization, enabling language comprehension, reasoning, and understanding of the environment.
