- Acquired through repitition and practice
- Implicit - less aware of these memories as they are more automatic
- AO3
- Two types of LTM
- Episodic and semantic memeories are stored together in one LTM store called declarative memory and procedural are non-declarative
- Alzheimers PPTs
- Some PPTs retained the ability to form new episodic memories but not semantic memories.
- This proves there is a seperation between the two abilities and that semantic memeories can be formed independently
- Some PPTs retained the ability to form new episodic memories but not semantic memories.
- Brain damage dead
- Scientists can't see/test different parts of the brain or the parts that are damaged unless the PPT'S is dead
- All just theories?
- Scientists can't see/test different parts of the brain or the parts that are damaged unless the PPT'S is dead
- Problems with clinical evidence
- Lack of control of all sorts of different variables in clinical studies
