- 1Types of Long-term Memory- Episodic memory
- Semantic memory
-Procedural memory - 2Episodic Memory- "Episode" = an event(s)
- Personal experiences: a time and place of the event and who was there can be recalled
- Recall of context and specific emotions
1. Specific details, 2. Context, 3. Emotions - 3Semantic Memory- Knowledge is shared by everyone, rather than be personal
- Related to the function of objects, acceptable behaviours and abstract concepts
- Begin as episodic memories - memories lose association with the context - 4Procedural Memory- Skills = remembering how to do something rather than the rules in which to do it: you just KNOW
- Acquired through repetition
- Less aware of these. The attention to the rules disrupts the automatic process - 5EvaluationBrain Scans
> EM is associated with the hippocampus and other areas of the temporal and frontal lobe
> SM relies on the temporal lobe
> PM is associated with the cerebellum (in control of motor skills) + motor cortex - 6EvaluationDistinguishing EM and SM
> Are EMs the gateway to forming SMs?
> Hodges and Patterson, 2007 - Alzheimer's patients retained the ability to form new SMs but not EMs
> Not sufficient - Irish et al (2011) Alzheimer's patients with poor SMs but intact EMs - 7EvaluationDistinguishing PMs and declarative memories
> HM case study - Inability to form LTMs was caused by the destruction of the hippocampus but retained pre-existing LTMs
> Could form new PMs
