Types of Long-Term Memory
Procedural
Implicit
Doesn't involve conscious efforts
Knowing how to do things
E.g. motor skills
E.g riding a bike
Neocortex area of primary cortex,
cerebellum, prefrontal cortex
Episodic
Explicity
Storing information about past
events and experiences
Involves conscious efforts
Pre-frontal cortex
Neocortex
Hippocampus
Semantic
Explicit
Storing information about
the world and general knowledge
Involves conscious effort
Frontal and temporal lobes
Hippocampus
Endel Tulving
MSM explanation of LTM
was too simplistic
3 Types
Each contain different types of
information
Weaknesses
Cohen & Squire
Disagree with divisions
Agree that
Procedural represents 1 type
Semantic and episodic grouped
together (declarative)
Clinical evidence
Lack of control over variables
Strengths
EM
Supported by HM & Clive Wearing
Brain scan studies show LTM stores
(Tulving)
Real life applications
Episodic memories can be improved
in older people with cognitive impairments
Highlights benefits of distinguishing different types
