Types of long-term memory
Cards in this deck (9)
- 1TulvingThought multi-store model was too simple and inflexible. Proposed there are 3 LTM stores. episodic, semantic and procedural.
- 2Episodic MemoryAbility to recall episodes from our lives. They are time stamped. Simple episode includes several elements e.g. people, time, objects and behaviours.
Have to make conscious effort to recall episodes. - 3Semantic MemoryContains knowledge of the world. They're not time stamped. Less personal and more about learnt facts and natural knowledge.
- 4Procedural MemoryMemory of how to do things. Can recall without consciousness or awareness.
- 5LTM Evaluation (Clinical Evidence)HM & Wearing. EM of both men was severely impaired as consequence of amnesia. SM was unaffected. PM were intact. Supports that there are different LTM memory stores. One store can be damaged and others not. Proof they're stored in different parts of the brain.
- 6LMT Evaluation (Neuroimaging evidence)Tulving et al. Participants performed various memory tasks while brains were PET scanned. Found E&SM recalled in prefrontal cortex. Left PC recalled SM. Right PC recalled EM.
strength: supports physical reality to different types of LTM. Confirmed many times, supporting validity of the finding. - 7LMT Evaluation (Real life applications)Belleville et al. Demonstrated episodic memory could be improved in older people with mild cognitive impairment. Trained participants performed better on test of EM after training than control group.
- 8LTM (Problems with clinical evidence)Clinical studies are not perfect. Serious lack of control.
- 9Cohen & SquireThink PM is one (declarative memory) and E&SM are stored together in an LTM store called declarative memory.
