Tulving's model of memory proposes that human memory consists of different types, primarily episodic memory and semantic memory. Episodic memory refers to the ability to recall personal experiences and specific events, including the context in which they occurred. In contrast, semantic memory involves the storage of general knowledge and facts about the world, independent of personal experience. Additionally, Tulving introduced the concept of procedural memory, which relates to skills and actions, such as riding a bike or playing an instrument. His model emphasizes that these memory types are distinct yet interconnected, contributing to our overall cognitive functioning and understanding of past experiences.
