Memory- Types of LTM
Cards in this deck (6)
- 1What is episodic memory?Event or group of events part of a larger sequence.
Personal experience e.g. first day of school
Recall details of event, context, emotion. - 2What is semantic memory?Knowledge about the world e.g. maths, social customs.
Start as episodic, become semantic (learn from experience, only remember info) - 3What is procedural memory?automatic skills, require practice & repetition e.g. swimming
- 4Evaluation: Types of LTM Brain scansE- Episodic associated w/ hippocampus. Semantic = temporal lobe, procedural = cerebellum.
E- Brain scans indicate 3 types memory found in dif part of brain so are separate.
L- distinction of 3, supported by scans. - 5Evaluation: Types of LTM Brain damaged patientsE- Case studies e.g. HM used, hard to determine exact parts of brain effected until after death.
E- damage to area does not mean responsible for beh, may be relay station.
L- Cannot establish causal relationship between type LTM & brain region. - 6Evaluation: Types of LTM Fourth kind of LTME- priming = implicit memories influence response made to stimulus. E.g. shown word yellow, later likely to say banana.
E- automatic/unconscious, controlled by separate region to other types.
L- Fourth type: 'Perceptual- representation system', original theory too simplistic.
