Exploring semantic memory, this content delves into its role in cognition, differentiating it from episodic memory. It examines the case of Patient HM, whose surgery-induced amnesia highlighted the hippocampus's role in memory consolidation. Studies on temporal lobe damage reveal its impact on semantic memory, with research by Schmolck et al. pinpointing the lateral temporal cortex's involvement in long-term semantic storage and retrieval.
