Document Summary
Mlb world series 1992 vs. 1993: back to back wins in 92 and 93, those events happened very close in time and happened in the same place (rogers centre), and involved many of the same players. We need mechanisms to separate those events as unique: the mechanisms we have to separate these: Pattern separation (ps): it"s a mechanism that allows us to code the details of similar events as different, it is believed to operate at encoding. Pattern completion (pc): if you have some cue, partial cue, that allows you to retrieve the rest of the memory. Believed to operate at the time of retrieval. Different types of retrieval, but when we have a cue in environment then we"ll be able to reconstruct the rest of the event. He had cardiac arrest as a result of an electrical injury which led to his heart stopping, and loss of oxygen. His ca1 subfield fine, but his dentate gyrus affected.
