Answer:

Ex: using semantic memory, you know what a dog is and can read the word 'dog' and be aware of the meaning of this concept, but you do not remember where and when you first learned about a dog or even necessarily subsequent personal experiences with dogs that went into building your concept of what a dog is.

Step-by-step explanation:

Semantic memory refers to our general world knowledge that encompasses memory for concepts, facts, and the meanings of words and other symbolic units that constitute formal communication systems such as language or math.
