😊controlled lab studies to support existence of capacity, duration and coding to support separate unitary stores
😊case studies provide more detail- HM when he damages his hippocampus couldn’t form new LTMs but remembered things before the accident
☹️oversimplified- STM and LTM can be made up of different components, and memory can prove to be more complex (WMM might be better)
☹️problems with using case studies- study unique individuals and can’t be generalised to others (uses idiographic approach) more time consuming
