New learning and remote memory in the same and different domains of experience: implications for normal memory and
1Department of Psychology, University of Manchester, UK.
Abstract:
This study investigated the correlation between new and remote memory ability in normal young subjects and evaluated whether using tests that tapped different domains of experience had any effect on the relationship between new and remote memory. Remote memory was assessed using a famous face test and new memory was evaluated using both novel faces and words. The main finding was a significant correlation between New and Remote face familiarity scores. A correlation was obtained when both tests tapped the same domain of memory, whereas when tests tapped different domains, there was no Remote-New correlation. Remote-New correlations may only exist between tests tapping the same domain of memory. This has implications for the interpretation of previous amnesic literature and for future investigations.

Long-Term Memory
Long-term memory can be categorized into two primary types: explicit and implicit memory. Explicit memory, also known as declarative memory, involves the conscious recollection of information that we deliberately try to remember, recall, and articulate. This type of memory encompasses specific facts, events, and...
Interference and Decay
Interference occurs when competing memories hinder the retrieval of particular information. It can be classified into two types: proactive and retroactive interference. Proactive...
Amnesia
The severity and duration of memory loss vary depending on the type and underlying cause. Amnesia is classified into two main types: retrograde and anterograde.
Retrograde amnesia is marked by the loss of memories formed before the onset of the condition. Patients may recall distant past events but often forget those occurring shortly before the incident.
Anterograde...
