  • What type of evidence supports the strengths of the evaluation?
    Clinical evidence from case studies
  • Who are the two case studies mentioned in the evaluation?
    Henry Molaison and Clive Wearing
  • What do both Henry Molaison and Clive Wearing struggle with?
    Recalling their episodic memories
  • What type of memory remained unaffected in both case studies?
    Semantic and procedural memory
  • What does the case study evidence support regarding long-term memory?
    There are different types of long-term memory
  • What does neuroimaging evidence suggest about memory storage?
    Different types of memory are stored in different brain parts
  • Which area of the brain is involved in recalling episodic memories?
    Right prefrontal cortex
  • Which area of the brain is involved in recalling semantic memories?
    Left prefrontal cortex
  • How can identifying different types of long-term memory help psychologists?
    It enables targeted memory improvement strategies
  • What did Belleville's study demonstrate about episodic memories?
    Episodic memories can be improved through training
  • What question does the relationship between episodic and semantic memories raise?
    Are episodic memories a gateway to semantic memories?
  • What did researchers find about Alzheimer's patients regarding memory types?
    Some retain the ability to form new semantic memories
  • What did Hodges and Patterson (2007) discover about Alzheimer's patients?
    Some can form new semantic memories but not episodic
  • What did Irish et al. find in their study of Alzheimer's patients?
    Poor semantic memories but intact episodic memories
  • What do Cohen and Squire argue about episodic and semantic memories?
    They are stored together in declarative memory
  • What type of memory do Cohen and Squire agree is one type of long-term memory?
    Procedural memory
  • How do Cohen and Squire categorize procedural memories?
    As non-declarative memories
  • What type of memory was damaged in both Henry and Clive?
    Episodic memory
  • What does the damage to episodic memory imply for Henry and Clive?
    They cannot recall personal life events
  • What type of memory remained intact for Henry and Clive?
    Procedural memory
  • What are the three types of memory proposed by Tulving?
    Episodic, semantic, and procedural memory
  • What does the intact procedural memory in Henry and Clive support?
    Tulving's suggestion of distinct memory stores
  • Which brain structure is active when recalling past experiences?
    The hippocampus
  • What is the role of the temporal lobe in memory?
    Responsible for semantic memory
  • Which brain areas are active during skill performance?
    The cerebellum and motor cortex
  • What limitation does Tulving's model face regarding episodic and semantic memory?
    They may not be distinct types of memory
  • What did Squire and Zola's study focus on?
    Patients with temporal lobe damage
  • What did Squire and Zola find regarding memory impairment?
    Patients had impaired semantic and episodic memory
  • What conclusion did Squire and Zola reach about episodic and semantic memory?
    They might be stored in the same memory store
  • What evidence supports Tulving's model regarding the hippocampus?
    The hippocampus is active when storing episodic memories
  • What case studies support Tulving's model?
    Henry Molaison and Clive Wearing
  • What type of memory damage did Henry and Clive experience?
    Only damage to episodic memory
  • What are the three types of memory proposed by Tulving's model?
    Episodic, semantic, and procedural memory
  • What type of memory was damaged in both Henry and Clive?
    Episodic memory
  • What does the damage to episodic memory in Henry and Clive suggest about memory stores?
    It supports distinct memory stores for episodic and procedural memory
  • Which brain structure is active when recalling past experiences?
    The hippocampus
  • What brain structure is responsible for semantic memory?
    The temporal lobe
  • Which brain structures are active during procedural memory tasks?
    The cerebellum and motor cortex
  • What limitation does Tulving's model have regarding episodic and semantic memory?
    They may not be distinct types of memory
  • Who conducted a study on patients with temporal lobe damage?
    Squire and Zola
