Man without a memory - Clive Wearing [BBC - Time: Daytime]

This is a cut segment from a larger documentary on Time titled "BBC - Daytime"; It discusses some of the mysteries of memory and how time effects our lives. Clive Wearing has a neurological disorder called Anterograde Amnesia which is a condition that doesn't allow new memories to transfer into long-term memory. This means that he will never remember anything since his incident, similarly to the movie Memento. Clive was an accomplished pianist in the 80s', and fortunately can still play the piano flawlessly. He only remembers his wife, and anything else to him is new information, even if it was presented to him once before. There's more information on Clive located here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C... and more information on anterograde amnesia here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A... If you're interested in this kind of thing, let me know. I'll be happy to give you more information. You can email me at tranceriver@gmail.com. This is truly a sad condition; I hope your comments are polite.

how can he not be surprised that his wife has grown so old every time he sees her?

Could he have Temporal Lobe Amnesia? He has lost great parts of his Retrograde memory too. If he would "only" (if not sad enough) have anterograde amnesia, he would remember more of his youth and more people from before the amnesia started. Very sad if you can't remember anything new. Memento is a strange movie btw!

Clive Wearnig cannot remember anything but how to do things, like eat, wear his clothes and even play the piano beautifully. He hasn`t lost his(PROCEDUAL MEMORY). THE most emotional aspect of his syndrome is that he is unable to make new memories. i still do not understand how or why he is able to remember his how his wife looks like and nobody else

Clive has a form of amnesia( inability to recall memory)He has damaged to the area of his brain(HIPPOCAMPUS and the surround cortices) responsible for encoding incoming information from his short term memory store to his long term memory store,

His wife is inspiring.

It's called implicit or procedural memory, not semantic memory. Semantic memory is impaired in Clive.

I apolagize for the poor sentence structure which undoubtedly caused your misinterpretation of what my main point in the previos explanation was. Also to edit that post i meant to say it CAN'T go straight to long term memory bypassing both short term memory and working memory.
