- 2What are the three types of memory?Episodic, Semantic and Procedural
- 3Episodic MemoryOur ability to recall events
You have to make a conscious effort to recall these memories
These memories are time stamped. - 4Semantic memoryOur knowledge of the world.
Includes facts and knowledge of concepts.
Not time stamped and we don't tend to remember when we learnt them - 5Procedural MemoryOur memory of actions and skills, i.e. riding a bike.
We recall these without conscious awareness.
We may find it hard to explain to others. - 6Evaluation of types of LTMClinical evidence: evidence from case studies of HM and Clive Wearing support that there are different memory stores
Neuroimaging evidence: evidence from brain scans show that different memories are stored in different areas, supporting the idea
Real-life applications: evidence has found that episodic memory is most effected by cognitive impairment , so treatments can be developed to help
Problems with clinical evidence: using lab evidence may not be generalisable to all people or may lack ecological validity
