Document Summary
Explicit declarative information (conscious awareness of it) Episodic personal/ time stamp in your life (what did you do for your last birthday) Implicit unconscious, demonstrate via actions/ skills/ habit. Longer term after rehearsal or concentrate on it. Reconsolidation that meshes old and new info, works both ways. Seizures could then be regulated with medication hypothetically. After surgery, left with anterograde amnesia; some retrograde amnesia. He had anterograde amnesia - had an inability to form new memories. Had some retrograde amnesia - memories going back in time. Sketchy memory of about 11 years prior to the surgery. Though older memories were a little better than the newer memories. Good memory for events before surgery, but unable to describe job he has worked for 6 months. May not be able to consciously describe the areas, but could demonstrate that he knew them by maneuvering around them quite well.
