'Man without a Memory – Clive Wearing\r'

'During the learning process knowledge is encoded, then stored and retrieved once considered. The sensory organs fetch information from the environment and argon stored for a really short period within the sensory cells, by giving attention to this information it is sent into the functional keeping/short term retrospection. Information in short-term memory can be held there indefinitely as long as it is rehearsed, and the veritable(prenominal) cause for its loss is that it is displacement by the comportment of other, modern information that has been attended to.Once received in the working memory/short term memory the information is encoded in our long-term memory by rehearsal or constant repetition of the information. When we need this stored information for future purposes, it is retrieve by mobilise or recognition. Clive Wearing, the man with no memory, has an unusual carapace of memory loss in which he is inefficient to form fiting new memories. Clive Wearing spyi ng the herpes viral encephalitis that affected his queasy system and resulted in him has retrograde and ante-retrograde amnesia.Ante-retrograde amnesia path he is unable to form memory of events that suck up taken place after his illness; he also suffers from retrograde amnesia, which refers to him cosmos unable to look on places, things and events before his illness means he is unable to store memory. The hippocampus and sections of his frontal and temporal lobe are damaged collect to the infection. The hippocampus which transfers short-term memory to long term memory is damaged due to the viral infection that affected his nervous system. With this verbalize an account could be given of why he is unable to store new memories.His memories only last between 7-30 seconds and are therefore only being stored in his short-term memory. Once the 7-30 seconds expires, he cannot take what he had just experienced or learned. This results in him not storing any new memories during his daily life. level off thou Clive Wearing is unable to form new memories he still has lasting memory of his wife and playing the piano. The fact that he can do this is evidence that disparate parts of the brain stores different types of memory. The assumption is that the section of his brain responsible for adjectival memory (memory of habits) is not damaged hence his energy to playing the piano.\r\n'
