Evaluation

• Evaluate neuroimaging evidence as a strength?

  • Tulving et al 1994
  • Participants performed memory tasks while their brains were scanned using PET scanner.
  • Episodic memory- recalled from the right prefrontal cortex.
  • Semantic memory- recalled from the left prefrontal cortex.
• evaluate real-life application as a strength

  • Belleville et al 2006
  • episodic memories could be improved in older people who had a mild cognitive impairment.
  • participants performed better on a test of episodic memory after training than the control group.
• evaluate 3 types or 2 as a limitation?

  • conen and squire 1980 - disagree with Tulving.
  • episodic and semantic memories - stored together in declarative memory (memory can be consciously recalled)
  • procedural memories- non-declarative memory
