Tulving Flashcards
what type of memory does this deal with?
Long term memory
what is episodic memory?
memory of particular events (mental diary)
what is semantic memory?
memory of facts (mental encylopedia)
what are the differences between the two?
semantic memories aren’t time and spatially referenced (memories are not linked together based on when they happened)
how does Ostregaard support this?
case of a boy having brain damage due to oxygen deprivation, damaged both types of memory but semantic recovered whilst episodic did not (indicates 2 stores)
how does Squire and Zola conflict?
conducted brain scans and found episodic and semantic are both based in the medial temporal lobe so aren’t 2 separate stores
