Memory disorders

Memory is the human brain's reproduction of past experiences and events, including the process of remembering, retaining, remembering, and recognizing (reappearing). In this process, things are classified, summarized, compared, and connected. Therefore, the memory is the human brain's reproduction of things that have been experienced in the past, so it is partially or completely distorted or wrong. In clinical work, memory can be divided into the following three types according to the length of the recall time: ① immediate memory (immediate memory): refers to things that can only hold less than 1 minute of memory, generally easy to forget. Give the examinee a list of numbers and ask them to back out. The subject must be attentive. The amount of information that can be processed is limited, only about 7 digits. ② recent memory: memory of things within minutes to days. ③ remote memory (remote memory): memory of things from months to many years ago.
