Episodic memory

Explanation:

Episodic memory is the memory that related to our life specific events. These specific events can be reconstructed by the actual events that events could be placed at any period of life. This memory also called an autobiographical event.

The whole environment related to the specific memory becomes the memory of life events. Females are more consistent in episodic memory than males. In other words, we can say that women are more consistent with the negative recall bias in which females recall their mistakes more than males.

Thus in the above context, Paula vividly remembers that when she gave birth to her child and in which hospital she gave birth. This is an example of episodic memory.
