Tulving's long term memory model Flashcards
(17 cards)
Who designed the episodic + semantic LTM?
Tulving
What does the model theorise abt LTM?
it’s not just a single store
What is episodic memory?
Memory for events & experiences
What is semantic memory?
Memory for general knowledge of facts
What is the nature of semantic memory?
Mental encyclopaedia
What is the time referencing of semantic memory?
It isn’t time referenced as it isn’t tied to specific times or places
What is the spatial referencing of semantic memory?
fragmented- places things from different intervals
What is the retrieval of semantic memory?
not cued retrieval- it’s possible without learning and doesn’t have to be repeated to be remembered
What is the nature of episodic memory?
Mental diary
What is the time referencing of episodic memory?
EM is dependant on time referencing- memories are linked to when it happened
What is the spatial referencing of episodic memory?
Autobiographical- input is continuous as we personally experienced the events
What is the retrieval of episodic memory
uses cues which are encoded at the point of learning
Which research by Baddeley credits the model?
(C.o.d.a)
Baddeley’s 1996b study supports the existence of semantic memory as the participants struggled with word lists linked by a common theme
What case study adds credibility to the model?
(C.o.d.a)
Clive wearing : Semantic memory (knowledge of music) remained intact however his episodic memory (remembering past events) was severely impaired
What opposition is there against the model?
(c.O.d.a)
There’s no clear cut between episodic and semantic memory and that they both rely on each other
What are different theories of memory?
(c.o.D.a)
Atkinson + Shiffrin’s MSM- STM is separate from LTM
Reconstructive memory - schemas
In which 2 ways can the model be useful?
(c.o.d.A)
- Maximising revision efficiently
- understanding memory loss in specific areas
