If we can extract it correctly and quickly, we think that we have memorized it, but if we can't extract it, we often think that we have forgotten it or have not remembered it at all, that is, it is difficult to distinguish whether we have not remembered it at the beginning or cannot remember it now. Why do we distinguish between these two processes? Because only by having a clear understanding of where the memory problem lies, can we find solutions in a more targeted manner.

In addition to the short-term memory and long-term memory that we know better, long-term memory is divided into episodic memory and semantic memory. Episodic memory is the memory of events or situations that have been experienced and occurred at a certain time and place in time and space. Semantic memory is the memory necessary for the use of language, it is a mental thesaurus, and it is the organized knowledge that a person has about words or other linguistic symbols, their meanings and referents, and the connections between referents, including rules, formulas, and operating algorithms.
