- Procedural-Stores information about how to do things, no conscious recall.Memories of our learned skills.
- Can't be consciously recalled and is difficult to put into words.
- Our unconscious memories formed from our behaviors (how to use your pen in your chemistry exam).
- Explicit (Declarative) memories.
- Those we consciously try to remember and recall(material you are learning for your chemistry exam).
- Episodic- Our experiences and events with associated people who have some kind of personal meaning to us.
- Semantic- Facts/concept about the world and associated language,the ability to relate two concepts together.
- Consciously recalled and can be put into words.
- Those we consciously try to remember and recall(material you are learning for your chemistry exam).
- Peterson et al showed that episodic memories were recalled from the right prefrontal cortex while semantic memories were recalled from the left prefrontal cortex.
- This supports the idea that there are different types of LTM.
- This also shows they each have a different neurological basis because they are recalled from different parts of the brain.
- The cases of HM & Clive Wearing show how one type of LTM can be impaired while others remain unaffected further proving there are different types in different parts in the brain.
- Clive Wearing was able to skillfully play the piano and understand the concept of music (semantic & procedural) but was unable to remember his wife visiting him earlier (episodic).
- Tuvling et al(1972).
- Implicit(Non-Declarative) memories.
