remember–know procedure
a procedure in which various memory tasks (e.g., recall, free recall) are used to measure and assess two different ways of accessing events from one’s past—episodic memory and semantic memory. Remembering (episodic memory) is the conscious and vivid recollection of a prior event such that a person can mentally travel to the specific time and place of the original event and retrieve the details; he or she is able to bring to mind a particular association, image, or sensory impression from the time of the event. Knowing (semantic memory) refers to the experience in which a person is certain that an event occurred but fails to recall anything about its actual occurrence or what was experienced at the time of its occurrence; the retrieval of the event is not accompanied by specific recollections about the time, place, or details.
