Explanation

Declarative, procedural, episodic and semantic memory are all types or sub-types of long-term memory.

Declarative memory (1) stores facts and events that can be consciously stated.

Procedural memory (2) holds skills and habits, an implicit form of long-term memory.

Episodic memory (3) records personal experiences tied to time and place.

Semantic memory (4) holds general knowledge and meanings independent of context.

Episodic and semantic memory are the two branches of declarative memory, in Tulving's model.
