50 First Dates Reply

About Arantza's post on 50 First Dates...I think that Drew Barrymore's character definitely suffers more from anterograde amnesia. She still remembers her brother and father and past events, but she definitely cannot transfer STM to LTM.

yeah but it doesn't really make much sense given she does have a short term memeory of apparently a day, which would mean she has enough time to record some information into long term memory as shown in some korsakov patients

but is it also an accurate depiction when she thinks it is the same day, everytime she waks up (the day before the accident)?
