Q

Does identifying the different types of LTM have any real life application?

A

Yes

19
Q

What real life application does researching into different LTM stores have?

A

Belleville et al (2006) found episodic memory can be improved in mild cognitive impairments which lead to training improvements

So specific treatments can be developed

20
Q

What is the problem with the use of clinical evidence?

A

Serious lack of control of difference variables so difficult to generalise

21
Q

Who argued that there may only be two types of LTM?

A

Cohen and Squire (1980)

22
Q

What did Cohen and Squire (1980) find?

A

That there are only declarative and non-declarative memories suggesting that there is not a distinct difference between episodic and semantic
