Types of LTM and The Working memory model

Which of the following are most likely to be stored in episodic long term memory?

• Factual information

• Memories of events

• Knowledge of what words mean

• Memories of skilled actions.e.g playing the guitar

Tulving has suggested that actually, episodic memory is a specialised subcategory of which type of memory?

• Procedural

• Semantic

• STM

• Muscle memory

'Time stamped' and 'needs to be consciously searched' is a description of which type of long-term memory?

• Very long-term memory (VLTM)

• Procedural memory

• Episodic memory

• Semantic memory

Which specific part of the brain is important in recalling both semantic and episodic memories?

• The hippocampus

• The cerebral cortex

• The prefrontal cortex

• The amygdala

'Brings together different types of information into a single memory' is a description of which component of the working memory model?

• Central executive

• Episodic buffer

• Phonological loop

• Visuo-spatial sketchpad

The case study of KF supports the working memory model because he had:

• Poor STM but intact LTM

• Poor STM for verbal material but near-normal STM for visual information.

• A near-normal STM but could not recall events from a long time ago.

• No ability to learn new skills.

The phonological loop of working memory is divided into 2 elements. These are:

• The central executive and long-term memory

• The phonological store and the articulatory process

• The visuo-spatial sketchpad and the episodic buffer

• Short-term memory and long-term memory

Which component of the working memory model links working memory with LTM?

• Central executive

• Episodic buffer

• Phonological loop

• Visuo-spatial sketchpad
