whats a strength of long term memory
P:supported by clive wearing
E: he maintained his procedural semantic memory’s but his episodic was damaged
L: this supports tulvings views as there are diff memory stores in the LTM as one can be damaged but others are mainly unaffected
weakness of types of long term memory
P:supporting research is mainly case studies
E:case studies cant be generalised as research is based on individuals with unique brain damage
L:this matters therefore may be difficult to draw further conclusion to those w/o brain damage on diff types of memeory
