Case Studies in Memory and Learning 

- Defined by the texbook as a "severe impairment of memory" 
- 2 subtypes: anterograde and retrograde amnesia

Amnesia 

- Hippocampus 
- Temporal lobes 
- Cortex
- Mammillary body 
- Cerebellum 

Relevant Brain Structures and Function: Learning and Memory 

Memory can be defined as the system or process responsible for storing learned information so that it can be utilized at a later time.
