Document Summary
Memory: the case of h. m. (henry, henry was hit by a bike when he was 7 years old and started to experience bad seizures at the age of 10. New long-term memories cannot form, as information is usually forgotten about 10 minutes after received. Information from the sensory input is carried over to the cortical association area in the brain. The cortical association area is connected to declarative memory, Procedural memory, and emotional memory: declarative memory: this form of memory is located in the hippocampus. It is responsible for understanding detailed memories for everyday facts (semantic memories) and events (episodic memories). This form of memory is flexible, meaning knowledge you have learned from one memory can be reused for different scenarios: procedural memory: this form of memory is located in the striatum. It is responsible for gradual learning, such as learning to ride a bike or tying shoes.
