- includes memory of learned skills
- no conscious or deliberate effort
e.g explaining how to ride a bike or change gears because you do it without having to recall how to do so - 5two strengths of having different LTM stores- allows specific treatments to be developed as Belleville et al 2006 found that episodic memories can be improved in order people with mild cognitive impairments > training led to improvement
- brain scan studies show that there are different LTM stores as tulving et al 1994 had participants perform various memory tasks while their brains were being scanned with a PET scanner -> semantic in the left and episodic in the right prefrontal cortex - 6two limitations of long term memory stores- problems with clinical evidence as it is difficult to generalize from these case studies to determine the exact nature of
- may be only two types of LTM as there is argued that episodic and semantic memory are stored together
