Document Summary
For all of those years, h. m. had no trouble remembering events prior to the surgery, but he: about his uncle. Ex: seem in h. m pigant comments about his state and about who he is. In a sense, then, without a memory, there is no self. We are starting to see, though, that knowledge, and hence the study of how we gain and use knowledge, is relevant to a huge range of concerns. Ex: self-concept, memories and even conversations we have al rely on our knowledge. The suggestion, then, is that cognitive psychology can help us understand capacities relevant to virtually every moment of our lives. Activities that don"t, on the surface, appear intellectual would nonetheless collapse without the support of our cognitive functioning. Cognitive psychology is 50 years old , and sometimes is spoken off as a cognitive revolution .
