    Study Notes

    Memory and Amnesia: Key Findings and Case Studies

    • H.M. had his temporal lobes removed in 1953, resulting in dramatic reduction of seizures but severe long-term memory loss
    • H.M. experienced mild retrograde amnesia (unable to remember the past) and severe anterograde amnesia (unable to form new memories)
    • H.M. had intact short-term memory but was unable to move memories from short-term to long-term memory
    • Clive Wearing, a musician, had severe memory impairment due to herpes simplex encephalitis, retaining some skills but unable to recall new information
    • Different involvement of brain areas during encoding and retrieval affects episodic and semantic memory differently
    • Patient K.C. displayed a double dissociation between impairments of personal and semantic memory
    • Baddeley's 'modal model' explains episodic memory learning and recall processes
    • The case of Jon, with developmental amnesia, showed impaired recall but largely intact recognition
    • R.B.'s case suggests that hippocampal damage alone can produce amnesia
    • Concussions may cause retrograde amnesia for the period before the blow and some anterograde amnesia after
    • Consolidation gradients of retrograde amnesia and memory consolidation indicate that concussions disrupt memory storage
    • Anterograde amnesia often presents with retrograde amnesia, but they can be independent
