LTM- Tulving

LTM- Tulving

1. Episodic memory:

   • personal experiences, autobiographical events that are time-stamped including people, places and behaviour, conscious effort required to recall them

2. Semantic memory

   • Record of facts, meanings, concepts and knowledge about external world that we have acquired, likened to dictionary. Time-stamped

3. Procedural memory:

   • memory for actions and skills of how we do things, e.g. walking done without consciouss awareness, not time stamped and very difficult to explanin to someone.

4. AO3:

   • Tulving, episodic and semantic memories are in prefrontal cortex, semantic on left and episodic on the right
   • Belleville: devised an intervention to improve episodic memory in older people, results showed it helped. By distinguishing between different types of LTM helps us to treat issues with them.
   • Cohen said procedural is separate to episodic and semantic (Declarative memory)
