Schmolck et al. 2002

Which type of long term memory did Schmolck et al. aim to investigate?

• Episodic memory

• Semantic memory

• Procedural memory

They wanted to see if semantic memory was related to...

• particular brain areas.

• visual encoding.

• personal memories.

• genes.

The two brain areas they focused on investigating were...

• Prefrontal cortex

• The limbic system

• Hippocampus/ Medial Temporal Lobe

• Temporal cortex

The method they used for their study was...

• lab test with brain damaged patients.

• doing PET brain scans while patients did a task.

• Stimulating brain areas in cats

Participant(s) included:

• 6 brain damaged patients (including HM)

• 8 matched control participants

• HM only as a case study

The amnesia patients were split into two groups according to the location of their brain damage. Which is NOT one of the groups?

• Hippocampus/ MTL ONLY

• Hippocampus/ MTL AND Temporal cortex 

• Temporal cortex ONLY

The task participants were asked to complete involved:

• Remember a list of things after a delay

• Sorting/pointing/naming things from pictures

• a dual task (one visual, one verbal)

Participants' responses were recorded and coded by how many researchers?

• 1 raters

• 2 raters

• 14 raters

Schmolck et al. found the more brain damage the person had...

• the better their semantic memory

• the worse their semantic memory

• no significant difference

True/False: Ps with hippocampus/MTL only damage had trouble with episodic memory but no problems with semantic memory.

• True

• False
