Memory researchers debate whether all our memories are contained in a single, unitary system or whether they are stored in multiple systems pertaining to individual types of memories (e.g., short-term vs. long-term, procedural vs. declarative, semantic vs. episodic, etc.). First, state the debate in your own terms. Then, support either the single or the multiple memory system view by describing 2 empirical studies
(Hint: empirical evidence can either come in the form of neurological case studies of people who suffered brain damage such as Milner’s study of H.M. or behavioral studies of research participants given lists of material to recall such as Glanzer and Cunitz, 1966).
