5-2 Discussion: Memory
Impairment
Memory loss or impairment can be difficult to deal with because it affects
many aspects of life. Many factors and conditions can lead to memory
loss, including strokes, head injuries, drug use, depression, Parkinson’s
disease, and dementia. Conduct a little research, and report on two
different types of memory loss. Compare and contrast changes in the
brain and memory that occur with each type of memory loss. After
discussing specific types of memory loss, provide a few suggestions for
improving memory based on what you learned about memory systems in
this week’s readings.
