Memory Development Following Early Medial Temporal Lobe Injury
Memory Development Following Early Medial Temporal Lobe Injury
This chapter focuses on how injury during childhood to brain regions known to underlie cognitive memory in adults affects the functional development of cognitive memory. The aim is to review such cases, with an eye toward how they contribute to the debate regarding the neural correlates of a further subdivision within the cognitive memory system—that between semantic and episodic memory. The chapter concludes with a discussion of how understanding the impact of brain injury on memory development contributes to our understanding of the brain bases of normal memory development.
Keywords: brain injury, childhood, cognitive memory, functional development, semantic memory, episodic memory, memory development
