Episodic memory is another name for events memory?

• A. Procedural memory
• B. Iconic memory
• C. Events memory
• D. Semantic memory

Answer: (C)

The key idea here is distinguishing memory systems by what they store. Episodic memory is the memory for personally experienced events, including the context—where you were, when it happened, and the sequence of events. It’s part of explicit/declarative memory and carries a sense of personal history or narrative.

The option that aligns with this idea is the one labeled as memory for events. Procedural memory covers skills and actions (how to do things) and is usually non-declarative. Iconic memory is a brief sensory snapshot of what you just saw, not a recalled event. Semantic memory stores general knowledge and facts, not personal experiences.

So, episodic memory corresponds to memory for events, making this choice the best match.
