1. What did the case study of HM show?
- Evidence for anterograde amnesia
- That STM and LTM can be damaged independently
- Different brain regions are important for memory, of which there are different types
- Evidence for retrograde amnesia

2. What is proactive interference
- Interference caused by external stimuli e.g/ a loud sound
- The tendency for previously learned recall to disrupt the recall of new information
- The tendency for new information to disrupt the recall of previously learned information
- When concious processes such as speech interfere with the recall of information
3. Define temporary modality-specific storage
- A basic property of sensory memory, each sense has a seperate store (iconic, haptic etc.)
- The duration of memories in storage (STM limited, LTM infinite)
- Another word for Short term memory (STM)
- How long memories stay in sensory memory (a fraction of a second)
4. What is retrograde amnesia?
- The inability as adults to remember information prior to 3 years old, due to incomplete hippocampal development
- The disruption of memories from the past, especially episodic memory
- The inability to form new, explicit long term memories, resulting from hippocampal damage
- Having impaired LTM for past and future events
5. What happens easily to memories in STM (MSM model)
- They are easily moveable from sensory to LT memory
- They are sensitive to interruption and displacement due to limited capacity, attention needed.
- They are easily rehearsed
- They are easily transferred to LTM with attention
