- types of long term memory
- episodic memory
- stores events from our lives
- this store has been likened to a diary of daily happenings.
- for example, your most recent visit to the dentist.
- episodic memories are complex
- they are time-stamped
- you remember when they happened
- they involve several elements
- people, places, objects and behaviours are woven into one memory
- you have to make a conscious effort to recall them
- they are time-stamped
- stores events from our lives
- semantic memory
- stores our knowledge of the world
- this is like a combination of an encyclopaedia and a dictionary
- for example, it includes knowledge of such things as applying to univesity
- this is like a combination of an encyclopaedia and a dictionary
- semantic memories are not time stamped
- for example, we do not usually remember when we first learned about 'Justin Bieber'
- semantic knowledge is less personal and more about the knowledge that we all share.
- stores our knowledge of the world
- procedural memory
- stores memories for actions and skills
- these are memories of how we do things
- for example, driving a car or playing table tennis.
- recall occurs without awareness or effort
- these are the sorts of skills we might even find quite hard to explain to someone else because we recall these memories without conscious awareness.
- for example, explaining how to ride a bike or trying to tell someone how you change gear when driving because you do it without having to recall how to do so.
