strengths of types of LTM

Cards (3)

    • Neuroimaging Evidence: Brain scans from Tulving's studies link episodic memory to the hippocampus, and procedural memory to the cerebellum and motor cortex, supporting distinct LTM types.
    • Case Study Support:
    • Clive Wearing: Despite amnesia affecting episodic memory, his procedural memory remained intact, as seen in his ability to play the piano and conduct.
    • Patient HM: After hippocampal removal, he lost episodic memory but could still learn new procedural tasks, e.g., mirror drawing.
    • Counterargument for Case Studies: Case studies are unique and not generalizable, limiting their broader applicability.
