Document Summary
Group studies: involves selecing paients whose damage is broadly associated with a speciic disease or cause. Caused by blow or jolt to the head, or by a penetraing head injury. Severity ranges from mild (brief change in mental status of consciousness) to severe (extended period of change of unconsciousness or amnesia ater the injury. They oten have other problems, therefore it does not lead to clear theoreical conclusions about memory. A result of drinking too much and eaing too litle. Deicits in atenional control again make theoreical interpretaion diicult. Most informaive is when damage appears to disrupt a single isolated funcion, while all other capaciies are preserved. Hm: in order to stop seizures areas associated with let and right hippocampus were removed, he became densely amnesic, deicits were principally limited to episodic long-term memory, dissociaion. Speciied deicit is separate or dissociated from deicits in other cogniive funcions. When 2 paient groups show opposite paterns of deicit.
