Autobiographical memory (AM)[1] is a memory system consisting of episodes recollected from an individual's life, based on a combination of episodic (personal experiences and specific objects, people and events experienced at particular time and place)[2] and semantic (general knowledge and facts about the world) memory.[3] It is thus a type of explicit memory.
