HM and Clive
Memories where impaired due to amnesia

Lost episodic memories

Question 6

Answer 6

Cannot generalise as case study
Is supportive of LTM
Scientific Volatility

Question 7

What’s the Neuroimaging Evidence for LTM

Answer 7

Used brain scans (PET) while pptps performed a variety of tasks.
Showed memories stored in different areas in the brain where episodic and semantic where stored in prefrontal cortex.
Supports physical types of LTM.

Question 8

What’s A03 of Neuroimaging

Answer 8

It has scientific volatility
It is Replicable
Shows a physical difference.
It has internal Volatility

It is expensive and time consuming
It requires technical expertise
Its deterministic

Question 9

What’s a real life application

Answer 9

It allows phycologist to target different memories.

Belleville showed episodic memories in elder generations could be improved after training.

Helps distinguish between LTM.
