AO3: Who supports the idea that there are different types of LTM?
Clive Wearing
AO3: Which of Clive’s types of LTM was damaged?
Episodic
AO3: Clive could not remember key events in his past like his education - this suggests that which type of LTM is damaged?
Episodic
AO3: Which type of LTM was in-tact for Clive?
Procedural
AO3: Clive could still play the piano despite his severe case of amnesia - this suggests that type of LTM is in-tact?
Procedural
AO3: How can the case study of Clive Wearing that supports types of LTM be criticised?
Low population validity
AO3: Why can the study of Clive be criticised for low population validity?
Only the study of 1 person
AO3: As Clive is a unique case and only the study of 1 individual, what is it difficult to do?
Generalise the results to the target population
AO3: What kind of evidence to support the idea of Types of LTM do we have from examples such as PET scans?
Neuroimaging evidence
AO3: Neuroimaging evidence comes from conducting what type of scan?
PET
