The Remember/Know paradigm distinguishes between the recollection of a memory, known as remembering, and the familiarity of a memory, known as knowing. Subjects are given a recognition test by showing them a list of words and then a specific time later they are asked whether they remember the word (R) or whether they just knew that that the word had been presented to them in the past (K). Remembering is considered one’s concrete awareness of oneself in the past and knowing is considered one’s abstract knowledge of the past. This distinction correlates with the distinction of the [[Declarative Memory]] which is split into the [[Episodic Memory]] and the [[Semantic Memory]]. Episodic remembering is the retrieval of personal temporary dates and self-relevant facts. Whereas semantic knowing is the retrieval of impersonal, undated, and world-relevant facts.

  • Description

The Remember/Know paradigm distinguishes between the recollection of a memory, known as remembering, and the familiarity of a memory, known as knowing. Subjects are given a recognition test by showing them a list of words and then a specific time later they are asked whether they remember the word (R) or whether they just knew that that the word had been presented to them in the past (K). Remembering is considered one’s concrete awareness of oneself in the past and knowing is considered one’s abstract knowledge of the past. This distinction correlates with the distinction of the Declarative Memory which is split into the Episodic Memory and the Semantic Memory. Episodic remembering is the retrieval of personal temporary dates and self-relevant facts. Semantic knowing, on the other hand, is the retrieval of impersonal, undated, and world-relevant facts.
