PSYC33H3 Lecture Notes - Lecture 2: Retrograde Amnesia, Arteriovenous Malformation, Episodic Memory
Document Summary
Memory: episodic: recalling last time you were on a bike, semantic: knowing what a bike is, what colour your bike is, procedural: (ow to ride your bike, you don"t think about it, you can just do it. Permanent and severe disruption of memory: most commonly episodic memory. Anterograde: impaired ability to form new memories.
