Document Summary
It"s to prepare us for the present and simulate the future: types of ltm in explicit(conscious) memory, episodic memory v semantic memory. Tulving: the psychological experience for recalling episodic memory is mental time travel, he called this chronesthesia, similar to reliving the memory- its more than just, semantic recalling a fact. Just facts recalling memory is just knowing: brain damage. But he retains fact about himself and his life: k. c. But she couldn"t recall facts: hippocampal damage in children. Have them copy image they saw after delay: but they had difficulty doing this task. Julie snowmen and elizabeth warrington: temporal lobe severely shrunken, lack of activity in the temporal lobes, double dissociation semantic dementia vs amnesia. Since both sd and amnesiacs have different brain damage and performed differently in this experiment, it gave further evidence that episodic and semantic memory are two separate things: semantic and episodic in normal brain activity.
