Main -> In the News: Memory

H.M.'s Brain and the History of Memory (NPR, 2/24/2007)

Henry Gustav Molaison (H.M.) is well-known to psychology professors and students. Left only with his past and the immediate moment, H.M. could not form new memories. Listen to or read the transcript of this NPR story on H.M. "Well, the way I figure it is, what they find out about me helps them to help other people." With his death, his identity could finally be revealed. (Molaison's NY Times obituary, 12/4/2008.)

Discussion questions: What would it be like to not be able to remember more than the last 20 seconds?
