While Tulving's model proposes three distinct types of long-term memory, some researchers argue for a simpler classification.
Cohen and Squire suggest a two-store model of long-term memory:
Definition: Declarative memory refers to memories that can be consciously recalled and verbalized.
This alternative model highlights the ongoing debate in the field regarding the most accurate way to categorize long-term memory systems.
Highlight: The debate between two and three types of long-term memory underscores the complexity of memory processes and the need for continued research in this area.
Understanding these different perspectives on long-term memory types is crucial for students studying A Level Psychology, as it demonstrates the evolving nature of psychological theories and the importance of critical evaluation in the field.

Tulving proposed three distinct stores within long-term memory, each responsible for different types of information. This classification has significant implications for understanding memory processes in A Level Psychology.
Episodic memory refers to the ability to recall specific events or experiences from one's past. It requires conscious effort to retrieve these memories.
Example: Remembering your first day at school or your last birthday celebration.
Semantic memory encompasses our general knowledge about the world, including facts, concepts, and meanings. Like episodic memory, it requires conscious recall.
Vocabulary: Semantic memory is often described as our 'encyclopedic' knowledge.
Procedural memory involves the recall of skills and procedures, often referred to as 'muscle memory'. Unlike episodic and semantic memories, procedural memories can be recalled without conscious effort.
Example: Riding a bicycle or typing on a keyboard without looking at the keys.
Studies of patients with amnesia, such as HM and Clive Wearing, provide strong support for the distinction between these types of long-term memory.
Highlight: Amnesic patients often show impaired episodic memory while retaining intact semantic and procedural memories, suggesting separate memory systems.
Brain scanning studies, like that conducted by Tulving et al. , have revealed distinct neural activations for different memory types.
Quote: "Episodic and semantic memories recalled from prefrontal cortex - left , right "
This neuroimaging evidence strengthens the case for separate long-term memory systems.
Research into long-term memory in Psychology has practical implications for treating memory impairments.
Example: Belleville et al. showed that targeted training could improve episodic memory in older adults with mild cognitive impairment.

The app is very easy to use and well designed. I have found everything I was looking for so far and have been able to learn a lot from the presentations! I will definitely use the app for a class assignment! And of course it also helps a lot as an inspiration.

This app is really great. There are so many study notes and help [...]. My problem subject is French, for example, and the app has so many options for help. Thanks to this app, I have improved my French. I would recommend it to anyone.

Wow, I am really amazed. I just tried the app because I've seen it advertised many times and was absolutely stunned. This app is THE HELP you want for school and above all, it offers so many things, such as workouts and fact sheets, which have been VERY helpful to me personally.

I think it’s very much worth it and you’ll end up using it a lot once you get the hang of it and even after looking at others notes you can still ask your Artificial intelligence buddy the question and ask to simplify it if you still don’t get it!!! In the end I think it’s worth it 😊👍 ⚠️Also DID I MENTION ITS FREEE YOU DON’T HAVE TO PAY FOR ANYTHING AND STILL GET YOUR GRADES IN PERFECTLY❗️❗️⚠️

Knowunity is the BEST app I’ve used in a minute. This is not an ai review or anything this is genuinely coming from a 7th grade student (I know 2011 im young) but dude this app is a 10/10 i have maintained a 3.8 gpa and have plenty of time for gaming. I love it and my mom is just happy I got good grades

Not only did it help me find the answer but it also showed me alternative ways to solve it. I was horrible in math and science but now I have an a in both subjects. Thanks for the help🤍🤍

The app's just great! All I have to do is enter the topic in the search bar and I get the response real fast. I don't have to watch 10 YouTube videos to understand something, so I'm saving my time. Highly recommended!

In school I was really bad at maths but thanks to the app, I am doing better now. I am so grateful that you made the app.

I found this app a couple years ago and it has only gotten better since then. I really love it because it can help with written questions and photo questions. Also, it can find study guides that other people have made as well as flashcard sets and practice tests. The free version is also amazing for students who might not be able to afford it. Would 100% recommend

Best app if you're in Highschool or Junior high. I have been using this app for 2 school years and it's the best, it's good if you don't have anyone to help you with school work.😋🩷🎀

This app is phenomenal down to the correct info and the various topics you can study! I greatly recommend it for people who struggle with procrastination and those who need homework help. It has been perfectly accurate for world 1 history as far as I’ve seen! Geometry too!
