Q

What was the method of Shallice and Warrington (1968)?

A

A case study was conducted on Patient KF, who had gotten brain damage through a motorcycle accident. Researchers conducted memory recall tasks (words and numbers).

Q

What did HM and CW have in common?

A

A damaged hippocampus.

17
Q

How did HM have his hippocampus damaged?

A

Operation.

18
Q

How did CW have his hippocampus damaged?

A

Herpes virus.

19
Q

What about HM remained intact?

A

Personality and intellect.

20
Q

What about CW remained intact?

A

Intellect and ability to play piano.

21
Q

Could either HM or CW form new LTM?

A

No.

22
Q

How do brain scans back up the existence of different stores for different memories?

A

Brain scans show which parts of the brain are being used when certain tasks are carried out.

23
Q

What are evaluation points for the multi store model of memory?

A

-The model ignores factors like motivation and ability to learn.
-Oversimplified:
WMM shows that STM is a lot more complex than MSM allows for (Shallice & Warrington).
There are different types of LTM (episodic, procedural and semantic) that the model does not account for.
