types of LTM

Cards (20)

  • What model of memory was introduced in the previous video?
    Multi-store model of memory
  • How is long-term memory coded?
    It is coded semantically
  • What type of memory is muscle memory classified as?
    Procedural memory
  • What are the three types of long-term memory discussed?
    Semantic, procedural, and episodic
  • How can we define the three types of long-term memory?
    • Semantic: Knowledge about the world
    • Procedural: Unconscious skills (muscle memory)
    • Episodic: Memories of personal events
  • What distinguishes declarative memories from non-declarative memories?
    Declarative can be put into words
  • How are procedural memories characterized?
    They are non-declarative and implicit
  • What is the significance of timestamps in memory?
    Episodic memories are time-stamped
  • How do episodic and semantic memories differ in terms of recall?
    Episodic can be recalled consciously
  • What is the emotional influence on episodic memory strength?
    Emotion affects the strength of episodic memories
  • Which brain region is associated with episodic memory coding?
    Prefrontal cortex
  • What does the research by Vagana Kadim suggest about episodic and semantic memories?
    They are separate processes using different brain regions
  • What condition does Clive Wearing suffer from?
    Retrograde amnesia
  • What can Clive Wearing still recall despite his amnesia?
    Semantic memories and procedural skills
  • What is a limitation of clinical case studies in memory research?
    Findings may not generalize to healthy people
  • How do modern cognitive neuroscience studies contribute to memory research?
    They show distinctions using healthy samples
  • What is a reason to argue against clear-cut separation of memory types?
    Episodic memories can become semantic over time
  • What are the differences between declarative and non-declarative memories?
    • Declarative: Can be verbalized (episodic, semantic)
    • Non-declarative: Cannot be verbalized (procedural)
  • What are the strengths and weaknesses of using case studies in memory research?
    Strengths:
    • In-depth investigation
    • Unique insights into memory processes

    Weaknesses:
    • Limited generalizability
    • Potential for unusual brain damage effects
  • What factors influence the strength of different types of long-term memory?
    • Episodic: Emotional intensity
    • Semantic: Depth of processing
    • Procedural: Amount of practice
