Netflix Explained Series The Mind “Memory” – The hand-written note is what I dictate from listening to the video. It is for my speaking practice to increase ‘speaking vocabulary’.
Key Points:
- Perhaps no brain has taught us more about memory than this one.
- He had brain surgery to treat epilepsy.
- The procedure resulted in no marked behavioral changes, with the one exception of a very grave recent memory loss.
- It was so severe, it prevented Henry from navigating his own house and recognizing his doctors.
- Henry still had other types of memory, habits that don’t require conscious thought, like how to ride a bike, so-called “implicit memories.”
- In this recording from the early 90’s.
- The real damage was to Henry’s episodic memory, his memory for personal experiences.
