(1975): people were approximately 90% correct at recognizing their high school classmates" pictures and names after 3 years or 25 years. Good wm, can"t get information into ltm: damage to parietal lobe. Disruption of wm (at least for verbal information), but can still have longer-term memory for that material. Memory for facts: episodic vs semantic memory, tulving (1972) made a distinction between 2 types of ltm: episodic and. Semantic: episodic memory is information tied to a specific time and place (episode); it is generally autobiographical.
