In the question presented above, "Jacob cannot remember anything that occurred in the minutes leading up to the bicycle accident that knocked him briefly unconscious. This mild form of retrograde amnesia is most likely due to the head injury preventing memory retention."

Retrograde amnesia: this type of amnesia that occurs when an individual is not able to recall incidents that took place before amnesia developed. In other words, the inability of an individual to recollect things that happens in the past before an injury is called retrograde amnesia. Individual affected generally remember meanings and actual information, but are unable to recall specific events.  

Although, individual may also be able to encode and remember new events that happens afterwards.  When the damage to the brain does not affect hippocampus (parts of the brain that encodes new memories), it will result to retrograde amnesia. This is because, the neuron and other different regions of the brain is where the already long-term memories are stored.  

For instance, if the Broca’s or Wernicke’s parts of the brain are damaged, it will result into language related memory loss, due to the fact that broca’s and wernicke’s connected to language information and speech production.  It is caused by the damage to the brain region associated with declarative memory (episodic)

The Fundamentals of Ethics - Chapter 11: The Kantian Perspective - Fairness and Justice The Fundamentals of Ethics - Chapter 11:
guajiro [1.7K]

Answer:

Categorical Imperative; Immanuel Kant

Explanation:

Kant´s moral theory - influenced by the French Enlightenment Rationalism is based on the central idea that the only intrinsically good thing is a good will which is subject to the moral law.

The Categorical Imperative is his construction of moral law, following the principle of universalizability (applied to all people) and that of humanity - never treat other humans as a means to an and. It is therefore not surprising that Feminism used this part of Kantian Perspective on Ethics to condemn certain practices regarding women, because they treat women as means.

On the freeway, maintain a 3 second following distance. If the road is slippery or wet, adjust your distance to _________.
Pachacha [2.7K]

Answer:

On the freeway, maintain a 3 second following distance. If the road is slippery or wet, adjust your distance to four or more seconds.

Explanation:

Every time climate conditions change, your vehicle will have variations in the way it reacts. So, if in regular conditions you should maintain a 3-second following distance, in other unusual conditions you must adjust this setting to be more cautious, and prevent any unforeseen events that could lead to an accident.
