# Chapter 8 The document appears to be notes on memory, specifically different types of memory and potential impairments. **Explicit Memory** * Divided into episodic memory (memory of specific events/episodes) * Semantic memory (memory of facts and general knowledge) * Procedural memory (memory of skills) **Equipotentiality Hypothesis**: * Proposes the idea that if one part of a specific area in the brain involved in memory is damaged, another part can maybe takeover that particular memory function. **Hippocampus and Memory Impairment**: * Damage to the hippocampus results in memory impairment. * Anterograde amnesia is commonly caused by brain trauma **Retrograde Amnesia**: * An inability to recall certain memories before the brain injury/trauma **Memory Suggestibility**: * Memories are fragile, and witnesses can be easily misled due to suggestive questioning techniques.
