Question	Answer
AO3: What is a STRENGTH of types of LTM?	Support from case studies
AO3: What is a LIMITATION of types of LTM? (HINT: Used to counter the strength above)	Problems with case studies - Can't be generalised / very specific / can't establish a causal relationship / time consuming
Which type of LTM is the basal ganglia and limbic system linked to? (Put 1 for episodic, 2 for semantic, and 3 for procedural)	3 - Procedural
AO3: What is a LIMITATION of types of LTM?	4th Type of LTM - Current theory is oversimplified and ignores the possibility of PRS
AO3: What is PRS?	Perceptual Representation System memory - The 4th type of LTM related to priming, it is implicit/non-declarative/unconscious/automatic like procedural memory, controlled by a brain system separate from the temporal system (used for explicit memory)
