Match the List-I with List-II LIST I — Terms LIST II — Meaning A. Declarative…

Concept. Long-term memory is classified by what is stored and how it is retrieved. It first splits into declarative (explicit) memory — knowledge that can be brought to conscious awareness and stated in words — and procedural (non-declarative) memory — knowledge that shows up as skills and cognitive operations performed rather than described. Declarative memory then sub-divides into episodic memory, which stores personally experienced events tagged with their place and time, and semantic memory, which stores general world knowledge stripped of any particular occasion of learning.

Application. Apply each defining test in turn to the four terms in List-I:

1. Declarative Memory is the whole category of consciously retrievable, verbally reportable knowledge, so it takes the meaning that describes conscious recollection of specific facts or events that can be verbally communicated — meaning III.

2. Procedural Memory is "knowing how" rather than "knowing that", so it takes the meaning that describes knowledge in the form of skills and cognitive operations — meaning IV.

3. Episodic Memory is the sub-type of declarative memory that carries a where-and-when tag, so it takes the meaning about retaining the where and when of life’s happenings — meaning I.

4. Semantic Memory is the sub-type of declarative memory that holds context-free general knowledge, so it takes the meaning about a student’s general knowledge about the world — meaning II.

Cross-check. The two easily confused pairs separate cleanly on one test each: declarative versus procedural on whether the knowledge can be verbalised, and episodic versus semantic on whether the memory carries a time-and-place stamp.

Result. The correct matching is A-III, B-IV, C-I, D-II.
