• What is one strength of clinical evidence in memory studies?

  Evidence from case studies of HM and Clive Wearing
• What type of memory was severely impaired in HM and Clive Wearing?

  Episodic memory
• How were the semantic memories of HM and Clive Wearing affected?

  They were relatively unaffected
• What could HM recall about stroking a dog?

  He could not recall it
• What does the intact procedural memory in HM and Clive Wearing indicate?

  They still knew how to walk and speak
• What musical abilities did Clive Wearing retain?

  He could read music, sing, and play piano
• What does the evidence from HM and Clive Wearing support?

  Tulving's view of different memory stores
• What is a major limitation of clinical studies on memory?

  Lack of control of variables
• Why is it difficult to judge memory impairment after brain damage?

  No knowledge of memory before the damage
• How does the lack of control limit clinical studies?

  Limits understanding of different types of LTM
• What is one limitation of neuroimaging evidence in memory studies?

  Conflicting research findings on memory locations
• What did Buckner and Petersen conclude about semantic memory?

  It is located in the left prefrontal cortex
• What is the location of episodic memory according to Buckner and Petersen?

  Right side of the prefrontal cortex
• What does conflicting evidence about memory locations challenge?

  Neurophysiological evidence supporting memory types
• How can understanding types of LTM help psychologists?

  It helps in treating memory problems
• What type of memory loss do older people typically experience?

  Episodic memory loss
• What did Sylvie Belleville et al. (2006) devise for older people?

  An intervention to improve episodic memories
• What was the outcome of Belleville's intervention for episodic memory?

  Trained participants performed better than controls

  • Enables specific treatments for memory issues
