Hm's Short Term Memory
Case Studies – Memory
1) In case study one it is evident that HM’S long term memory is functioning as it states that he can still remember things about himself and things that had happened up until the operation. However the case study then goes onto prove how HM’S short term memory was damaged during the surgery. HM can now no longer remember anything after the surgery, no matter the importance, whether it was finding his way around his house or remember the death of his father. Another example where short term and long term memory has been disrupted would be Clive Wearing. Like HM, Clive can’t remember anything after his illness. The evidence proving this is that Clive can no longer enjoy books or TV serious as he can’t remember what happened
