case study for types of long term memory

Clive Wearing

who did research support for types of long term memory

Tulving

what area of the brain lit up when using semantic memory

anterior temporal lobe

what area of the brain lit up when using episodic memory

right prefrontal cortex

h.m case study

h.m had parts of his brain removed due to seizures and it cased impairments in his long term memory

research support - evaluation

When Tulving did PET scans, the blood flow was in different parts of the brain when using different types of memory

high ecological validity from case study - evaluation

Clive Wearing kept procedural memory, some semantic but lost all episodic

good real life application - evaluation

research from h.m case study shows doctors need to do research and can develop treatments
