Types of LTM-TULVING Flashcards
Who made the 3 types of memory stores?
Tulving
Name all three types of memory stores.
-PROCEDURAL
-SEMANTIC
-EPISODIC
Describe the procedural memory.
-knowing how to do things (motor skills)
>E.G riding a bike
-Non-declarative, doesn’t involve conscious recall
-LOCATION=cerebellum and motor cortex
Describe the semantic memory.
-storing information about the world
>E.G meanings and facts
-not ‘time-stamped’
-Declarative requires conscious recall
-LOCATION=Temporal Lobe
Describe the Episodic memory.
-storing information of events
>E.G the first day of school
-is ‘time-stamped’
-Declarative requires conscious recall
-LOCATION=Hippocampus
Name all the evaluations that can be used for the different types of LTM.
-Neuroimaging
-Scientific methods
-Clive wearing
>low population validity
Explain The evaluation of Neuroimaging.
-Neuroimaging evidence supports
-E.G ppt were asked to perform various memory tasks
-there brains were scanned with a PET scanner
-FOUND that the episodic memories are associated with hippocampus and procedural cerebellum and motor cortex
-supports BECAUSE the 3 different types of memory were found in different locations therefore indicating there separate.
Explain The Evaluation of scientific methods.
-objective and empirical techniques such as brain scanners
- used to identify parts of the brain which are active when completing tasks
-E.G the cerebellum and motor cortex being active during a procedural task
-increases internal validity thus raises psychological scientific status
Explain the Evaluation of the Case Study.
-Clive Wearing suffered from Amnesia in which his Episodic memory was damaged
-E.G he couldn’t remember events such as his musical education but could remember how to play the piano
-procedural memory
-Because if certain parts of long term memory are damaged this indicates that they are separate
