- Evaluation of the long term memory
- research evidence
- brain scans, 3 distinct areas
- episodic= hippocampus
- semantic= temporal lobe
- procedural= cerebellum, motor cortex
- supports the explanation
- case study of HM
- Milner
- procedural and declarative are distinctly different
- couldn't perform episodic or semantic memories
- due to damage in the hippocampus and temporal lobe
- could act on procedural memories
- based on a single individual, can't generaline
- Case study of CL
- vicaria et al
- suffered brain damage after a tumour removal
- couldn't create new episodic memories
- could reate semantic memories
- stores are seperate
- lack of research into procedural memory and the brain areas involved
- need case studies focused entirely on the damage to the procedural memory
- extremely rare
- not fully understand, it's hard to generalise the theory
- need case studies focused entirely on the damage to the procedural memory
- research evidence
