Answer 1

Answer:

Intact episodic memory but defective semantic memory.  

Explanation:

Episodic memory is the memory that describes our specific events of life in serial form. These events took place from the real moment in life. such as birthday anniversary. This memory is related to our autobiographical memory. It is explicitly stated.  

Semantic memory: This is the memory that is related to our structured form of the knowledge, facts, and meanings of our external world. The semantic memories have spatial meaning. Most of the memory is abstract and meaningful.
