Q

As we have seen, a major limitation of the multi-store model is its description of long-term memory (LTM) as a single, unitary store.
On the basis of hundreds of research studies, psychologists now know that there are potentially many different long-term stores.
The working memory model shows that the MSM is what as an explanation of memory?

A

The working memory model shows that the MSM is over-simplified as an explanation of memory

They both knew how to tie their shoelaces, walk and speak and, in Clive Wearing’s case, how to read music, sing and play the piano.
This evidence supports Tulving’s view that there are what in LTM?

A

This evidence supports Tulving’s view that there are different memory stores in LTM

63
Q

Evaluation:
With the famous case studies of HM (Henry Molaison) and Clive Wearing, episodic memory in both men was severely impaired as a consequence of amnesia.
They had great difficulty recalling events that had happened to them in their pasts, but their semantic memories were relatively unaffected.
For example, they still understood the meaning of words.
