• what did tulving propose?

  the ltm is much more detailed and includes 2 systems of memory, possibly even 3 - episodic, semantic and procedural.
• when did tulving propose this and why?

  1972. he believed the multi store model was too simplistic.
• tulving's theory - episodic definition.

  episodic is a long term memory store for personal events made by experiences from your life. they are personal and autobiographical.
• tulving's theory - features of the episodic store.

  time stamps (remember when that experience happened), allows you to time travel (recall doing that experience at some point), intertwines all involved in experience to be a single memory, requires retrieval and effort to remember.
• tulving's theory - semantic definition.

  a long term store for knowledge on the world, like facts and knowledge about the meaning of words and concepts such as language.
• tulving's theory - semantic features.

  not time stamped (don't remember when we learnt a meaning), less risk of distortion, less personal and more on material learnt by nature or shared knowledge.
• tulving's theory - procedural definition.

  made in 1985! - long term store for actions and skills which we recall without conscious awareness. examples would be changing gear naturally. similar to classical conditioning as it allows us to learn by the environment.
• tulving's theory - evaluate for S.

  case study of HM - poor episodic memory but good semantic, seen with him forgetting ever petting or meeting a dog, but when shown to one he would say dog and know was it was - shows they are separate. supported by multi store model which expresses need for retrieval!
• tulving's theory - evaluate for C!

  tulving 2002 - said that episodic is possibly just a subcategory for semantic memories - found on those with amnesia if semantic was damaged then episodic couldn't work but if episodic was damaged then semantic still could.
• tulving's theory - evaluate for U!

  belleville et al - after memory training, participants performed better episodically than control group - shows they are separate and can be trained to help those with brain damage.
• tulving's theory - evaluate for T!

  can use case studies and experiments but validity, generalisable and ethic issues as we do not know how their were memories before brain damage.
