Man without a memory - Clive Wearing [BBC - Time: Daytime]



Uploaded by: Equivicae
Video Description:
This is a cut segment from a larger documentary on Time titled "BBC - Daytime"; It discusses some of the mysteries of memory and how time effects our lives.
Clive Wearing has a neurological disorder called Anterograde Amnesia which is a condition that doesn't allow new memories to transfer into long-term memory. This means that he will never remember anything since his incident, similarly to the movie Memento. Clive was an accomplished pianist in th
e 80s', and fortunately can still play the piano flawlessly. He only remembers his wife, and anything else to him is new information, even if it was presented to him once before. There's more information on Clive located here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clive_Wearing and more information on ante
rograde amnesia here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anterograde_amnesia If you're interested in this kind of thing, let me know. I'll be happy to give you more information. You can email me at tranceriver@gmail.com. This is truly a sad condition; I hope your comments are polite.

I dont know why ... ( 4 months ago by doohgk)
I dont know why people are giving you thumbs down. I quit smoking weed for that exact reason. I always smoke too much and temporarily get this kind of memory loss where every 10 minutes I literally "wake up" and everything before was a vague dream if remembered at all.

1st of all, why is it that I can't read a lot of these comments because they are shortening words to... Well I'm not sure why they are. 2ndly, this is a terrible condition. I'm learning about it in my psychology class, and I can't imagine life like this. It sucks.

Well, I read in the NGC that another man who had the same as this man didn't had any worries at all and actually was pretty happy.

You can watch it from another point of view. This man lives totally in the present and because of that he has no worries at all about the past or future.

You can't really say he's the one suffering. he doesn't know whats happening. its like the "happiness based on ignorance" type of thing. i feel truly sad for his relitives and friends.

Oh my gosh, he's so sweet to his wife. I can't imagine how difficult it is for her. He's got the easy part, it seems.
if he's playing ... ( 2 months ago by margittarget)
if he's playing music and reading it and he comes across a repeat sign, will he perpetually repeat that part indefinitely because he doesn't know he already played it, or is his music playing totally exempt from his amnesia?

"It's prescisely like death."

he knew how to before the accident. the thing is he can't make NEW memories, but he can retrive old ones. its just like if every 5 mins you just go back to 5mins be4.

It's like waking up ... ( 1 month ago by akechi77)
It's like waking up from a coma, nothing exists except what is in front of you and your present thoughts. Your perceptions and thoughts at any given time are all that can be taken in but they disappear as quickly as they appear, its not like they fade at all. At 5.20 when he says he's "never seen anyone at all, it's precisely like death" that's because he can't remember seeing anyone before 1985 basically.
