    • Tulving suggested that the MSMS view of LTM was too simplistic and inflexible so he proposed that there are three types of LTM stores containing different types of information Episodic memories are our recall of memories in our life and require conscious declarative effort to recall episodic memories. Semantic memories are our knowledge of the world ideas concepts and facts they are not time stamped but do require conscious thought. Procedural memory is how we learn to do things it is non declarative as it doesn’t require conscious recall.
