Document Summary

If we talk about the case i class, you are responsible to know that case for any tests. If the case takes up a page or more, good chance it could be tested. Jimmie g. was frozen in time and any question you asked him concerning his memories were from that time. His sensory and motor abilities were both i tact as well as his cognitive abilities. Assessment, as much as finding out what he had, they had to rule out other things. Jimmie g. had anterograde amnesia meaning he had an issue forming new memories. Therefore he could remember things that had happened to him before whatever trauma, however, he was unable to form any new memories post-trauma. Also think outside the box ie. think about research options when presented with a patient. Study of diseased or damaged brains leads to new knowledge.
