17
Q

Which case study supports the types of LTM?

A

HM

18
Q

After his surgery, which types of LTM was HM able to form?

A

Procedural memories

19
Q

After his surgery, which types of LTM was HM unable to form?

A

Semantic and episodic memories

20
Q

What skill was HM able to learn after his surgery?

A

Mirror-drawing

21
Q

What is priming?

A

How implicit memories influence the responses a person makes to a stimulus

22
Q

What does priming support?

A

That there is a 4th type of LTM

23
Q

Give an example of priming.

A

When an individual is given a list of words containing yellow, they are more likely to say ‘banana’ when asked to name a fruit compared to a non-primed individual

24
Q

Is priming implicit or explicit?

A

Implicit

25
Q

Why is priming implicit?

A

It is automatic and unconscious

26
Q

What have studies on Alzheimer’s patients found support for?

A

Separate episodic and semantic memory stores

27
Q

What have researchers found about the semantic and episodic memories of Alzheimer’s patients?

A

-Some Alzheimer’s patients retain the ability to form new semantic memories, but not new episodic memories
-Some Alzheimer’s patients have poor semantic memories, but in-tact episodic memories

28
Q

What does the double dissociation of Alzheimer’s patients suggest?

A

That semantic memories and episodic memories are separate, and that episodic memories may be a gateway to semantic memories, but they can still form independently
