Semantic memory

Factual knowledge that you have. This is what many people think about when they think about "memory."

Procedural memory

Memories of how to do so something - also habits that we have are procedural memory. Eg: how to tie shoe laces

Perceptual memory

The ability to recognize and remember sensory patterns. It helps us identify objects, sounds, smells, and textures based on prior experience. This plays a key role in facial recognition.

Episodic Memory

These are your autobiographical memories - that is, memories of events or experiences; for example, graduation day, your first kiss, memories of happy childhood events, or personal tragedy.
