Types of LTM

Question 1

Read thru the sheet on Clive Wearing on showbie

Answer 1

saves me from summarising 2 pages of info i cba <3

Question 2

now do the same for henry molaison

Answer 2

thx much appreciated

Question 3

What is clinical evidence of how episodic, semantic and procedural memory is affected by amnesia

Answer 3

Episodic - severely impaired, had great difficulty recalling events that had happened in the past
Semantic - unaffected, understood meaning of words
Procedural - also intact; could walk, tie shoelaces, etc

Supports Tulving’s view that there are different memory stores in the LTM

Question 4

What is a negative evaluation of the clinical evidence

Answer 4

Case studies are very unique to the individual
Therefore can be difficult to make generalisations regarding info gathered

Question 5

What are some neuroimaging evidence for LTM

Answer 5

Brain scans have been conducted whilst performing memory tasks
Tulving 1994

Question 6

What did Tulving 1994 find about where certain memories are recalled from

Answer 6

Episodic and semantic - prefrontal cortex
This area is divided into 2, one memory type on each hemisphere of the brain

Question 7

What are the 2 divisions of the prefrontal cortex that holds semantic or episodic memories

Answer 7

Left prefrontal cortex = semantic memories
Right prefrontal cortex = episodic memories

This supports the idea in different physical locality of different parts of memory

Question 8

What are some real life applications of helping to increase LTM

Answer 8

Specific treatments developed to help with episodic memory impairment
Especially as people get older through mild cognitive impairment
Supported by Belleville et al. 2006

Question 9

What is a -ve evaluation in types of LTM

Answer 9

Cohen and Squire 1980
believe there are only 2 types of LTM
-Procedural (non-declarative)
-Declarative (combo of episodic and semantic)

gosh can these ppl just AGREE ON SOME THINGS
