AProcedural
BSemantic ✓ Correct
CEpisodic
DConstructive
Correct answer: (B) Semantic — Remembering a factual name is semantic memory, so that is the answer.
Explanation
★Remembering a factual name is semantic memory, so that is the answer.
★Semantic memory stores general facts and knowledge about the world.
★The name of an author is such a general fact.
★So recalling it draws on semantic memory.
★Episodic memory would instead store a personal experience of an event.
★So this type of memory is semantic, not procedural, episodic or constructive.
