memory

• Tulving (1985) criticised the MSM's view of LTM for being too simplistic.
• there are three LTM stores:

  episodic

  procedural

  semantic
• Episodic memory is a part of the LTM responsible for storing information about events that we have experienced in our lives.

  It involves conscious thought and is time stamped.
• Semantic memory is a store of general knowledge about facts and concepts.

  These memories need to be recalled deliberately but are not time stamped.
• Procedural memory includes memories of learned skills.

  Does not require conscious effort and is not time stamped.
