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 classic atlanta-based company donated land to the city of Atlanta for the construction of the Georgia Aquarium
GuDViN [60]
The correct answer is the <u><em>Coca-Cola Company</em></u>. They donated the land and other necessities and other companies helped too and it ensured that the aquarium opened completely debt free. The donations were generous as well because it's the largest aquarium in the Western Hemisphere. Until 2012 it was the biggest in the world but there's now one in Singapore that is bigger.

An alternative category of criminal homicide, typically charged when a killing occurs under circumstances that are not severe en
USPshnik [31]

Answer:

Manslaughter

Explanation:

The two types of criminal murder are murder and manslaughter. However, the latter, while unlawful, it does not involve malice or an intention to kill or even seriously harm the person. Manslaughter does not also involve any reckless disregard for the life of the individual and hence always involves no malice aforethought. They can be labelled as excusable or justifiable homicides, but the moral blame for manslaughter is less than that of first or second degree murder.

Which measure of memory retention is the most useful for assessing the strength of an implicit memory?
erica [24]

Answer:

Implicit memory is occasionally called unconscious storage or automatic stored. Implicit memory uses past experiences without thinking about things. Previous experiments, no matter how long such experiences have taken place, enable implicit memory performance.

Explanation:

Implicit memory, procedural memory, allows us to do many physical daily activities, like walking and cycling, without thinking. Much of the implied memory is procedural in nature.

Procedural memory involves mainly new motor skills and is dependent on the brain and baseline ganglia.

When someone sings the first few words, remember the words to the song.

Easy cooking tasks such as boiling pasta water.

Take a familiar route every day, for example by commute or the store you frequently shop for.

Tasks that are routine in a familiar job, for example to sand for a carpenter or to chop onions for a chef.
