On a TV game show, Jeannette is asked to name the state capital of Vermont. This information is most likely stored in

A) procedural memory.
B) semantic memory.
C) episodic memory.
D) nondeclarative memory.

Answer: B
Rationale: Semantic memories are declarative memories that include facts about the world. They can be thought of as the non-fiction reference books of your long-term memory. In contrast, episodic memories are declarative memories for personal experiences that recalled from a first-person perspective. Because the memories for state capital names are factual, not autobiographical, they are semantic, not episodic memories.
