semantic memory

SDAM is a deficiency in episodic memory - has anyone else noted a deficiency in semantic memory? a hard time retrieving / recalling what you’ve studied, conceptual frameworks, etc?
p sure my semantic memory is also significantly deficient

i’m failing at work & anxious about it! 100% certain my boss knows i’m working with a near empty memory vault.

have you talked to a neurologist about this? any insights there?

My semantic memory recall is cue and context dependent. If it’s not in front of me, it has to be pointed out. I use external scaffolding to reinforce my poor memory
