Types of Long-Term Memory
• Tulving (1985) was one of the first
cognitive psychologists to realise that
that the multi-store model’s view of
LTM was too simplistic
• Tulving proposed that there are in fact
3 LTM stores, containing different
types of information
• Episodic memory, semantic memory and
procedural memory.
Long-Term Memory –
Presentation task pg. 50-51
• 3 groups
• Each group is going to create a
presentation (no longer than 5 mins) on
types of long term memory
• You need to include:
• What your type of memory is (AO1)
• Supporting evidence/AO3
• Questions to quiz your fellow classmates!
AO3
P: there are studies to support different stores
in LTM
E: CW had trouble recalling events that happened
in his life for example birthday parties ect.
However, he was able to perform procedural skills
such as playing the piano
E: this provides evidence that there are
different types of LTM. Clive was unable to recall
certain types of LTM, suggesting that there are
different types of long term stores
L: therefore, this supports the idea that there is
more than one store in LTM.
AO3
P: There is scientific evidence from brain scans to
support the different stores within LTM
E: for example, Tulving et al carried out an
experiment where pts performed memory tasks whilst
scanning their brains using PET scans. He found that
semantic memories were recalled from the left
prefrontal cortex and episodic memories from the
right
E: this shows that there are different types of LTM
as different brain regions are responsible for
separate areas of LTM.
L: therefore providing reliable, clinical evidence of
separate memory stores for different types of LTM.
Episodic, semantic or procedural?
Check your understanding
1. Explain what is meant by the terms
episodic memory, semantic memory and
procedural memory (6)
2. Explain one difference between
semantic memory and procedural
memory (2)
3. Outline one study that has investigated
different types of LTM.
