| definition |
Definition: “Memory is the capacity to retain information and utilize it for adaptive purposes. Memory loss is an unexpected or unexplained decrease in ability to recall previously learned information”. Ordinarily, we could also score ‘amnesia’ as memory impairment. However, due to the subjective nature of the clinical histories, we have decided to score these separately. |
