Question 4

Memory
types of LTM
Episodic features

Answer 4

Explicit
(Retreived with conscious effort)
In hippocampus,temporal lobe,frontal lobe
Declarative-explained ez
More likely to forget or get amnesia

Question 5

Types of LTM
Semantic features

Answer 5

Explicit
In Temporal lobe
Declarative
Likely to get amnesia or forget info

Question 6

Question 7

Memory
Types of LTM
study method

Answer 7

6 participants injected radioactive gold with gamma Ray detector.told to think bout semantic mems or episodic mems .60s later, injected with gold.scanned 8 secs later when gold in brain

Question 8

Memory
Types of LTM
results conclusions

Answer 8

2 diff Types of tasks =diff blood flow pattens in brain episodic with frontal lobes of cortex ,semantic mems with posterior region of cortex
Episodic n semantic LTMs involve diff parts of brain therefore separate-biological basis for DIFFERENT processes in LTM

Question 9

Memory
Types of LTM
Lab-high control

Answer 9

Say in more detail:
Cause n affect
Less confounding
Confident in conclusion
However could be considered low as u dk for sure they thinking of semantic or episodic, no way to be sure

Question 10

Memory
Types of LTM
supported by pet scan

Answer 10

Episodic n semantic both recalled from area of brain called pre frontal cortex .is ÷into 2 .left prefrontal -recalling semantic n right episodic
Demonstrates separate
Scientific no room for misinterpretation.
Either bloodflow in location or not
Objective

Question 11

Memory
Types of LTM
sample size

Answer 11

Only 6
Not good representation of pop- maybe just different brains to rest of pop
Decrease confidence in researchers study
