Types Of LTM

Question 1

Who believed the msm view of LTM was too simplistic

Answer 1

Tulving

Question 2

What is procedural knowing

Answer 2

How

Question 3

What is episodic memory

Answer 3

Storing info about events

Question 4

What is semantic memory knowing

Answer 4

That

Question 5

Examples of procedural

Answer 5

Motor sills such as riding a bike

Question 6

Are procedural memories declarative

Answer 6

No

Question 7

Why are procedural memories non declarative

Answer 7

They don’t require concious recall

Question 8

What area of the brain is responsible for procedural memories

Answer 8

Cerebellum and motor cortex

Question 9

What does the semantic memory store

Answer 9

Knowledge about the world e.g meaning of words and general knowledge like facts

Question 10

Are semantic memories time stamped

Answer 10

No we dont remmer where we first coded to info

Question 11

What brain area is responsible for semantic memory

Answer 11

Temporal lobe

Question 12

Example of episodic memory

Answer 12

First day at school

Question 13

Do episodic memories involve concours recall

Answer 13

No

Question 14

Are episodic memories time stamped

Answer 14

Yes - we rem er when/ where we coded these memories

Question 15

What brain area is responsible for episodic memory

Answer 15

Hippocampus

Question 16

What kind of evidence is there to support there are different types of LTM

Answer 16

Neuroimaging evidence

Question 17

Participants had to preform various memory tasks whist their brains were scanned using PET scans, what was found?

Answer 17

Episodic memories associated with hippocampus, procedural with cerebellum and motor cortex

Question 18

how does neuroimaging evidence support different types of LTM

Answer 18

Suggests 3 different types of LTM were found in different areas of the brain. Indicating they’re separate

Question 19

What can research be praised for

Answer 19

Scientific methods. Objective and empirical techniques e.g brain scans to identify different parts of brain active when completing different LTM tasks. E.g cerebellum and motor cortex active when doing procedural task. Increases interval val. Raising psychology’s scientific status

Question 20

What real life evidence supports types of LTM

Answer 20

Case study Clive wearing. Episodic damaged, couldn’t remember events like musical education but procedural still worked as he could play piano. Supports different parts of LTM as if only certain parts of LTM are damaged it suggests they are separate.

Question 21

What has Clive wearing been criticised for

Answer 21

Low population val. Case study, rare case of damage to brain. Can generalise to wider pop as LTM may operate differently. Limits support
