Types of Long-Term Memory Flashcards
What are the three different types of memory?
- Episodic buffer
- Semantic memory
- Procedural memory
What did Tulving (1985) believe about the multi-store memory?
That it is too simplistic and inflexible
Who came up with the three different types of long-terms of memory?
Tuvling (1985)
What is the episodic memory?
- Stores events of our lives
- Time-stamped by people, places, objects or behaviours
- Conscious effort to recall
What is the semantic memory?
- Knowledge of our world
- Not time-stamped
- Less personal
What is the procedural memory?
- Knowledge on how to do things
- Unconscious recall
Which long-term memory is non-declarative?
Procedural memories
Which long-term memory is declarative?
- Semantic memories
- Episodic memories
Who are the patients which research supported the episodic buffer by a case study?
HM and Clive Wearing
What kind of patients had supported the episodic buffer?
Amnesia patients
What did Clive Wearing and HM show difficulty of?
Recalling events that had happened in the past
What could HM and Clive Wearing do?
Remember their semantic memories
How does Clive Wearing and HM support the episodic buffer?
Must be different stores as one store damaged another not
How are brain studies showing the existence of different LTM stores?
Declarative memory shown to be working in the prefrontal context
Which declarative memory is on the right side of the prefrontal context?
Episodic memory
Which declarative memory is on the left side of the prefrontal context?
Semantic memory
Who researched into the different types of LTM by brain scans?
Tulving et al (1994)
