摘要: Brain lesions cause memory to break down in several distinct ways people. First, cortical disturbances short-term memory. Second, other disturb the retrieval of previously well-established semantic and episodic memories. Third, frontal cortex dysfunction seems be related a syndrome caused by breakdown ability plan carry out elaborative processing. Fourth, most explored, is amnesic syndrome(s), limbic system or diencephalic lesions. Other less-studied forms almost certainly exist some syndromes are compounded from these more basic deficits. Appropriate assessment disorders must take this heterogeneity complexity into account, important not only for clinical purposes but also gain further insight precise nature different kinds breakdown. The major theoretical requirements that such procedures meet outlined.
