Q

Why is this better than MSM at explaining memory?

A

It goes into more depth about LTM (the different components) rather than seeing it as one unitary story

Q

Why is MSM better than this theory at explaining memory?

Q

What did Squire and Zola show?

A

The same brain areas are activated for episodic and semantic memory which suggests they might be one system

Q

What is a problem with Ostegaard & KC?

A

They are both case studies of people with brain damage so their results don’t apply to explain others LTM

Q

How does this theory link with dementia?

A

People with dementia have episodic memory fading in reverse chronological order while their semantic memory is uneffected

17
Q

What is a criticism of how this theory deals with the types of LTM?

A

The two stores have quite a substantial overlap so might not be two separate stores

18
Q

What is another type of LTM that this theory ignores making it reductionist? (demonstrated by HM)

A

Procedural memory
