Memory Loss?

Memory Loss?


            Memory loss commonly known as amnesia is defines as unusual forgetfulness. People may not be able to remember new events, recall one or more memories of the past, or both. Memory Loss can be reoccurring. Although most of the time people will regain parts of or all of their memory back, there are also cases in which the person never regains their memory. There are two main types of memory loss:
a) Long Term Memory is defined as difficulty remembering events that occurred further in the past. When a patient has long-term memory loss, they have problems recalling stored memories, not creating new memories.
b) Short Term Memory is defined as the temporary or complete loss of the actual short-term memory which holds a small amount of information that a person needs temporarily, such as a list of things to buy at the grocery store.



 In Finding Nemo, Dory has short term memory loss.
