Amnesiac Memory Analysis
01/03/2007 | Elhuyar
The Amnesiacs are not able to imagine fictitious situations. To this conclusion came a neuroscientist from College University of London in an experiment with amnestics. Amnestics have trouble remembering the past, as most of them have damaged the hippocampus, the part of the brain that deals with memory and space. Patients can remember concrete details of the past, but they cannot relate memories in a coherent way. Somehow, if they have pieces to form a puzzle, but they are not able to join the pieces. That is why they cannot relate past experiences to imagine a fictitious situation. They necessarily live in the present.
