Talk:Retrograde amnesia

message: What causes Retrograde Amnesia?
:From the article; "Retrograde amnesia is caused by trauma that results in brain injury."
:I know someone who had retrograde amnesia that according to him, was caused by an infection. Was he mistaken or is this also a possibility?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.82.251.225 (talk) 12:17, 13 January 2011 (UTC)
thread_title: Cause

message: It's noted in the article that familiar objects are often used to help stimulate memory. At times, I've seen on television (like that's a good guide, I know :-) that repetition of familiar things will also help. Is this true? For instance, in The Jeffersons, George repeated his first date with Louise, which was a comical disaster, to help her get her memory back. Other sitcoms have used the "faimilar things" approach, like an episode of Diff'rent Strokes and the finale of Full House, but in the former, it could be aruged it was repeating a familiar event that helped trigger Mr. Drummond's memory of Arnold and Willis (threatening to ground them if they ran away), and in the latter, the Full House Chronology (http://howrude.org/show/chronology/) describes in a footnote that it's implied an accidental repeating of an earlier experienced situation helped Michelle recover her memory. (Being in a strange place and looking for older sister Stephanie for comfort; admittedly, not really a repeition per se like the one on "The Jeffersons" - probably more of a "familiar things" type event.)Somebody or his brother (talk) 21:40, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

thread_title: Repetition of familiar events helpful?

message: Patients with retrograde amnesia are unlikely to lose their procedural memory.  So unlike what the article says about the concert pianist forgetting how to play, many of these songs that he plays are likely procedural memories now, not semantic.  He might forget how to read music, as that is a semantic memory, but he could probably fall into song while playing a piece he formerly played regularly.

thread_title: Memory Loss

message: There are two mains views in the literature to explain memory loss. There is the view that there damage to the hippocampus is due to deficiency is certain memory storage types. The other view is that it is a failure in cues which normally help retrieve the memory. Should we discuss this in this article or is it best covered elsewhere? We should also discuss Metyrapone studies with rats in water maze paradigm e.g. Roozendaal et al. 2001) which shows evidence for the retrieval cues position. ----Action potential  discuss contribs 02:24, 19 June 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Multiple memory systems v. Problems with retrieval cues 

message: reason: in medical jargon a "negative finding" means that nothing was found. For example, "a patient with a negative finding of cardiac damage" is in good shape.

replies: text: Yes, this is most definitely a typo (and amusingly preserved in the multitude of online copies on other websites that have lifted this text verbatim). I'll correct it. Thanks! Global Cerebral Ischemia (talk) 21:39, 18 March 2019 (UTC)

message: Hi all,
I added a bullet point to the Case Studies section about a study concerning pupil size as an indicator of RA. I cited my source as well and copied and pasted everything over from my sandbox. Feel free to make changes or provide feedback. Thanks! JustinC7 (talk) 06:14, 10 May 2023 (UTC)
