Semantic and Episodic Memory STRENGTH- Kent Cochrane (KC)

Suffered brain damage in a motorbike accident to his hippocampus. He couldn't remember any life events (episodic memory) but could remember dates, definitions, facts (semantic memory)

Semantic and Episodic Memory STRENGTH- Ostergaard

Case study of a 10-year-old boy who had impaired semantic and episodic memory, but it was proven that his procedural memory and intelligence wasn't

Semantic and Episodic Memory STRENGTH- Palombo et al (2012)

Used 598 volunteers to asses individual differences in naturalistic autobiographical memory. Sub-divided it into episodic, episodic, spatial and prospective memory. Individuals seemed to score equally the same at semantic + episodic memory.

Semantic and Episodic Memory WEAKNESS between the two different stores

Since what happens to one store happens to another, reductionism wouldn't be possible because you couldn't differentiate between the two in an experiment.

Semantic and Episodic Memory WEAKNESS- Cermak and O'Connor (1983)

An amnesic patient who could read a factual article on laser technology and discuss it at the time but couldn't remember anything about it later suggests deficits in semantic + episodic memory, providing no distinction.

Semantic and Episodic Memory WEAKNESS- Anderson and Ross (1980)

Despite saying that semantic is separate to episodic, when participants were asked to determine whether a sentence was true or false, their ability to verify the sentences was affected by prior episodic information.
