Tulving (1967) Ltm Flashcards
Procedural memory is the memory of
How to do things like tying shoelaces
Declarative memory is the memory of
Meaningful events, remembering being taught how to play the guitar even if you’ve forgotten how to play it
Episodic memory is a division of declarative memory and it is concerned with
Particular events and specific information: events, names and dates.
Episodic memories are perceptually encoded which means
They are linked to the 5 senses so they can be cued by a sight/sound/smell
Semantic memory is the memory of relationships and
How things fit together. It includes the memory where things are located and what they do.
Semantic memory is needed for language because
Words have meaning
Learning words in the first place involves
Episodic memory but once they are learned they go into the semantic store
