they are require conscious recall
they are infallible

Case studies of brain damaged patients like Clive and HM support's Tulving theory that LTM is divided into at least stores because....
one type of LTM can be damaged yet the others are intact
if one type of LTM is damaged,they all show some impairment
they are a rich source of detailed information about one individual person
people may have damage to more than one brain region
Which of the following is the best limitation of case studies and would be useful AO3 in a question about different types of LTM is that...
we often have no idea what the participant's memory was like before the injury/illness that caused the damage so it is hard to establish cause and effect
they are longitudinal so data may be subjective as a relationship is often formed between researcher and participant
qualitative data collected in a case study is time consuming to analyse
case studies cannot be generalised as they are only done one one person.
If we are unsure which brain regions have been damaged (due to the injury happening spontaneously, i.e. natural circumstances as opposed to surgery) this means there could be a problem with ....

find it easier to remember childhood events than things that happened last week
find it easier to remember things that happened last week than childhood events.
Understanding about different types of LTM has important practical applications, for example...
we know where in the brain the different stores are located
we can develop strategies to help older people with their episodic memory
it shows the that models like MSM are reductionist
we should avoid the use of case studies as the credibility of the findings may be questionable.
Who developed an intervention to help older adults with episodic memory?
Sylvie Belleville
Buckner and Peterson
Brenda Milner
Endel Tulving
Why does Tulving think episodic memory is a sub-store of semantic memory?
because he thinks it is impossible to have intact episodic memory and damaged semantic memory
because he thinks it is impossible to have intact semantic memory and damaged episodic memory
Evidence to challenge Tulving's idea of episodic memory as a sub-store of semantic memory comes from Alzheimer research where patients could remember
new events but not new facts
new facts but not new events
Tulving used the expression "autonoetic memory" when talking about episodic memory. He used this term to explain the idea that we know...
what has happened in real life as opposed imagined events or dream content
when an event happened in relation to other events in our lives
about things that have happened in the past but are only able to imagine them from our own point of view
can only remember past events if we are cued by something in the present
Which type of memory is time stamped?
episodic
procedural
semantic
Research into Alzheimers and how it impact different types of LTM can be linked to which of the following issues and debates?
nature versus nurture
ethical issues in psychological research
socially sensitive research
all of these issues and debates
Which brain region is associated with procedural memory but less so with other types f long term memory?
cerebellum
hippocampus
frontal lobe
limbic system
The cerebellum and which other brain region are associated with the procedural memory?
basal ganglia
nucleus accumbens
insula
hippocampus
HM's procedural memory was intact and this was evidenced by the fact that...
the accuracy of his "mirror drawing" improved over time (a skill taught post-surgery)
he was able to play the piano and sing just as he had done before his illness
he was not able to remember previous mirror drawing practice sessions with his psychologist
he was able to recognise his wife and read a newspaper
Tulving's brain imaging research suggest that episodic memories are processed in the anterior (front) of the frontal lobes and semantic memories in posterior (back) of the frontal lobes.
