Answer 2

Answer:

Different types of Long term memory

Explanation:

Types of Long Term Memory:-

One of the earliest and most influential distinctions of long-term memory was proposed by Tulving (1972). He proposed a distinction between episodic, semantic and procedural memory.

1)Procedural Memory:-

Procedural memory is a part of the long-term memory is responsible for knowing how to do things, i.e. memory of motor skills.

It does not involve conscious (i.e. it’s unconscious - automatic) thought and is not declarative. For example, procedural memory would involve knowledge of how to ride a bicycle.

2)Semantic Memory:

Semantic memory is a part of the long-term memory responsible for storing information about the world. This includes knowledge about the meaning of words, as well as general knowledge.

For example, London is the capital of England. It involves conscious thought and is declarative.

The knowledge that we hold in semantic memory focuses on “knowing that” something is the case (i.e. declarative). For example, we might have a semantic memory for knowing that Paris is the capital of France.

3)Episodic Memory:

Episodic memory s a part of the long-term memory responsible for storing information about events (i.e. episodes) that we have experienced in our lives.

It involves conscious thought and is declarative. An example would be a memory of our 1st day at school.
