However, some signs may point towards a more severe and worrying type of memory loss. This memory loss may be dementia, amnesia, or another memory problem, but it is likely to require medical attention and intervention. The following are signs of severe memory loss. 4 Asking the Same Questio...
The main characteristic associated with the disease is a progressive loss of semantic memory, affecting both verbal and nonverbal aspects as well as all categories of knowledge. Therefore, patients with semantic dementia perform poorly on any task that requires semantic memory, such as picture naming...
Declarative memoryrefers to memories for facts and events that can be consciously brought to mind and “declared” (Cohen & Squire, 1980). Declarative memory comprises both semantic memory for knowledge and facts as well asepisodic memoryfor events. The loss of declarative memory, particularly episo...
the type of memory-loss they are referring to is the inability to recall events, or episodic memory. (Semantic memory is actually preserved in early-stage Alzheimer’s disease.) Although remembering specific events that have happened over the course of one’s entire life (e.g., your experienc...
Adult humans experience agency when their action causes certain events (sense of agency). Moreover, they can later remember what these events were (memory)

(stage 3 of memory) Process of getting information out of the memory system Anterograde Amnesia Loss of ability to create new memories since events that caused amnesia. Long term memories remain intact. Retrograde amnesia Trouble accessing memories. ...
There is growing consensus that hearing loss and consequent amplification likely interact with cognitive systems. A phenomenon often examined in regards to these potential interactions is working memory, modeled as consisting of one component responsible for storage of information and another component respo...
The cholinergic system is essential for memory. While degradation of cholinergic pathways characterizes memory-related disorders such as Alzheimer’s disease, the neurophysiological mechanisms linking the cholinergic system to human memory remain unknown
