Being able to access memories consciously and express them in words
Non-Declarative
Memories aren't consciously recalled, difficult to express in words
Episodic Memory
Experiences and events
Time Stamped
Declarative
Strength of the memory influenced by emotion
Linked to hippocampus and prefrontal cortex
Semantic Memory
Facts, meanings and knowledge
Declarative
Strength of memory from processing in depth
Linked to perirhinal cortex
Procedural Memory
Unconscious memory of skills
Non-Declarative
More resistant to forgetting
Linked to the motor cortex and cerebellum
(+) A03: Vargha-Khadem
Found children with damaged hippocampus, but not parahippocampal cortices, had episodic amnesia but could recall facts, suggesting different LTM stores
(+) A03: CliveWearing
CW has Retrograde Amnesia, being unable to recall episode events, but can remember semantic and procedural e.g. marriage and playing piano
Due to Anterograde Amnesia, can't form new memories but can learn new skills, suggesting different LTM stores
(-) A03: Ideographic Research Support
Cannot generalise ideographic research from case studies to wider populations as there could be other factors causing these changes
(-) A03: Cohen + Squire
Argue that due to both being declarative, Episodic and Semantic longterm memory is stored in the same place
