== Post-traumatic amnesia ==

This bullet under Types is listed as "Post-traumatic amnesia" but immediately uses the term "traumatic amnesia" instead. Is that the same thing? This is confusing. Either use the same term in both places or clearly explain they are alternate names for the same thing. If neither of these are correct please add some sort of explanation of what this is about.

== In fiction ==

There should have a section on amnesia in fiction. The only reason most people know the word is that fictional characters develop (or fake, or joke about, etc.) amnesia so often. Also, the specific form of amnesia that occurs in fiction is almost invariably either global retrograde amnesia, or a dissociative fugue, both of which are incredibly rare in real life—possibly to the point that they wouldn't be notable enough to mention in an encyclopedia based only on actual occurrences, but they are immediately recognizable to almost everyone because of their prevalence in fiction.

The article once had an "in popular culture" section, which was [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Amnesia&diff=341528283&oldid=336018082 removed in 2010] as part of a larger [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:%22In_popular_culture%22_content Wikipedia sweep of such sections]. I think in this case, it was a mistake. (Also, it was removed by an anon IP, with no edit comment, and no discussion here, so we can't even ask why it was done.) While many such sections were just indiscriminate lists of fancruft, this one was actually an encyclopedic discussion of the topic.

Of course it might need updating to 2018 standards, a bit of expansion (it probably relies too much on Jonathan Lethem's essay, and barely touches on video games—and without a source), etc. But I think it's still solid enough that restoring it and editing from there is a good step. --[[Special:Contributions/157.131.170.189|157.131.170.189]] ([[User talk:157.131.170.189|talk]]) 07:41, 30 November 2018 (UTC)

Added new information in Childhood Amnesia

[edit]

I added new information about Childhood Amnesia including how cultural could be different and the age at which most people cannot remember. I also added a new source: <Wang, Q., Conway, M., & Hou, Y. B. (2007). Infantile amnesia: A cross-cultural investigation. New research in cognitive sciences, 95-104.>

Additional information for treatment and dissociative amnesia

[edit]

I was able to find two more resources. First I added some more information concerning about the importance of treatment for amnesia and how if varies from the type of amnesia a person has as well as the treatment that is administered to them. The source I added was this one: Services, Department of Health & Human. "Amnesia". www.betterhealth.vic.gov.au. Retrieved 3 December 2019. I was also able to see some interesting topics with dissociative amnesia that was not previously mentioned. Namely, I found a source mentioning that the effects are permanent as well as some of the difficulties one may have with organic amnesia. The source I used was this one: Bourget, Dominique, and Laurie Whitehurst. "Amnesia and crime." Journal of the American Academy of Psychiatry and the Law Online 35.4 (2007): 469-480.

More sources and information about source amnesia and semantic amnesia

[edit]

As I continued to do more research, I decided that there were a couple of sections that I felt needed just a bit more information as a summary. This was mostly due to the fact that it felt that the definition of certain types of amnesia felt incomplete with just one sentence describing them. So, I added at least one more sentence for the section on source amnesia and also semantic amnesia. The sources that I used are as follows: https://www.evl.uic.edu/sugimoto/memSrc.html. and "Semantic Variant Primary Progressive Aphasia". Memory and Aging Center. Retrieved 3 December 2019.

Another citation and more detail for posthypnotic amnesia

[edit]

While I continued to find some resources for amnesia, I was interested in the concept of posthypnotic amnesia. I was able to find a study that was conducted in 2008. There appeared to be from interesting information regarding the ability to shape the way that adolescents were able to remember or forgot due to hypnosis. One of the possible results is due how selective amnesia could be due to hypnosis. I found it to be very interesting to see how there appeared to be some type of form of repression that occurred due to the hypnosis. Another reason I used this study as a source is because of the characteristics that were used to define what posthypnotic amnesia is can how it affects an individual. The source that I found was the following case study: Enea, Violeta, and Ion Dafinoiu. "Posthypnotic amnesia and autobiographical memory in adolescents." Journal of Evidence-Based Psychotherapies 8.2 (2008): 201.

Clarifying the signs and symptoms of amnesia

[edit]

I just added a couple of symptoms of amnesia. The previous information was decent, but not entirely clear about the common symptoms of amnesia. The resource that I used is one that I found and cited for the treatment section of this article: Services, Department of Health & Human. "Amnesia". www.betterhealth.vic.gov.au. Retrieved 3 December 2019.

Korsakoff's syndrome source

[edit]

I was able to find a source that mentioned the types of amnesia that are associated with Korsakoff's syndrome. Within the source it also mentioned how there could be some connections with other forms of memory problems and how problems can occur within the medial temporal lobe and/or the frontal lobe. The source that I am using is: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3140893/

Photo change

[edit]

The first picture that opens the article is in another language. I believe it would be better if another picture was found for clarity.
