Autobiographical memory
Autobiographical memory is a type of episodic memory.Episodic memory is memory which is tied to a certain time or place. It covers an episode, rather than semantic memory which is just facts not tied to any episode.Episodic memory can be autobiographical, or experimental. Autobiographical means events in your life. For instance "what did you eat for breakfast this morning?" is autobiographical episodic memory.The other sort of episodic memory is experimental memory. This is rare, and only really considered in cases of Psychological experiments. It involves someone learning something semantically (for instance, a list of words) which then becomes episodic as the person ties the information to the specific episode of processing the words for the experiment.
This way in which the memory does so is due to the autobiographical memory.

I wondered the same thing. I do not think that their IQ is necessarily extremely high; I do wonder, however, if their superior autobiographical memory extends to things they have studied or read, which may result in very high test scores. --- As someone that has a good memory, but not a "superior autobiographical memory," I can say that, yes, it extends to things that have been read and studied and it equates to a higher than average I.Q. I have been told by 'average' people that it is highly unusual for someone to remember their babyhood years or what may have happened even in grammar school. I thought I was just unusual and never spoke of it. Now my curiosity is piqued.
Autobiographical memory tends to become more selective and focused on specific significant events as people age. Older adults may experience more difficulty recalling recent events but tend to have strong memories from early adulthood and adolescence. Overall, older adults may rely more on well-rehearsed narratives to structure and recall autobiographical memories.
All episodic memory is from your own life, but episodic memory from your life as it would naturally happen is called autobiographical episodic memory. Helpful to remember that an autobiography is a book about someone's own life.
