Abstract:
This overview deals with the neuropsychology of memory. First cognitive models proposed for primary and secondary memory are reported, particularly the working memory theory and episodic/semantic distinction are discussed. Briefly the modern point of view about the anatomical bases of memory functions are reported with stressing above all the role of limbic structures. Lastly the pathology of both primary and secondary memory is dealt with, trying to abstract the clinical features of different syndromes.
