A neuropsychologist assesses a patient six months after an illness. Each result shows a pattern of memory also found in Clive Wearing in Wilson, Kopelman and Kapur's (2008) study.
| Assessment | Result |
|---|---|
| 1 | The patient types a familiar sentence quickly without looking at the keyboard. |
| 2 | When shown photographs of school trips taken years before the illness, the patient cannot recall the trips. |
| 3 | A nurse who has cared for the patient every day since the illness introduces herself each morning. Each time, the patient says they have never met before. |
State the term that identifies the memory ability or difficulty shown in each assessment.
