TULVING LTM Flashcards
(8 cards)
Tulving
response to msm as it didn’t full rep the Complexity of ltm
episodic = experience & semantic (facts).
Episodic
Nature=mental diary
Time=time and context reference
Spatial=continuous input once
Retrieval= cues, forget due to failure, memory trace> transformed
Semantic
Nature=mental encyclopedia
Time= indp time ref
Spatial= frag input diff time
Retrieval= not cued,memory trace = robust less susceptible to transform
Strength
I brain damaged patient supports 2 separate stores.
J kf motorbike accident= unable to form m/recall from personal (episodic)
but recall factual info (Semantic)
E supports sep LTM stores + indicates stored in the diff region= avenue for further research.
Counter
Unique circumstance= dify in nature of brain functioning
difficult to apply findings on memory based w diff injures
Weakness
I Clive and HM contradictory as stores are too simplistic
J use certain ltm eg skills before damage=own name piano= not ep or sem
E more complex than stated
Weakness counterargument
H= Counterargument: Tulv amended LTM model by adding ÷ for declarative memory (epi +sem) & ÷ for procedural memory= explained the retention of skills observed in HM and Clive Wearing.
