weaknesses

• HM case study

  Surgery to remove the hippocampus to stop seizures resulted in the loss of ability to form new memories

  However, can still require new motor skills

  • Ability to form some new ltm memories = MSM reductionist of ltm (different types)
• KF case study

  Suffered brain damage due to motorcycle accident

  Loss of auditory stm but not visual stm

  • MSM reductionist of stm as different types
• Craik & Lockhart

  A non-structured approach that holds idea memory is just what happens as a result of processing info

  • Contradicts MSM in that there is no clear distinction between stm/ltm + maintenance rehearsal doesn't exist
