WEAKNESSES

• WHAT ARE THE WEAKNESSES OF THE TYPES OF LTM?

  • clinical study
  • conflicting evidence
• WHY IS THE FACT MOST STUDIES WERE CLINCAL ALSO A WEAKNESS?

  • results were not generalisable
  • as the sample was not representative of the wider population (only clinical)
• WHAT DID UNDERSTANDING DIFFERENT TYPES OF LTM ALLOW US TO UNDERSTAND?

  age worsens memory loss
• WHAT TYPES OF EVIDENCE ARE CONFLICTING WHEN DISCUSSING TYPES OF LTM?

  neuroimaging and neurophysical evidence
• WHO PROVIDED CONTRASTING EVIDENCE FOR TYPES OF LTM?

  Peterson and Buckner
• WHAT DID PETERSON AND BUCKNER DISCOVER?

  semantic memory located on left side of prefrontal cortex and episodic memory is located on the right side
• WHAT DOES OTHER RESEARCH SUGGEST ABOUT THE LOCATION OF TYPES OF LTM?

  left side of prefrontal cortex is for episodic encoding and the right is for episodic retrieval
• WHO DISCOVERED THAT LEFT OF PFC IS FOR SEMANTIC MEMORIES AND RIGHT IS FOR EPISODIC MEMORIES?

  Peterson and Buckner
