He had perfect understanding of the general sweep of events in the past twenty years: his amnesia seemed confined to his own activities and the activities of those intimately connected with him. Where he had been, what he had done, all the events of his life up to the night of his arrest remained, for all his effort to remember them, absolutely in darkness. "You don't remember this man?"
Of course when one considers the degree of amnesia which is usually present and the extent of the intellectual defect in general, it becomes obvious that one cannot think of getting anything like a complete explanation of the behavior of any given case. Nevertheless this material is quite suggestive in the mass; it gives one some idea of the mental state as a whole.
Amnesia of speech and written language. Amnesia of speech, written language, and gesture. In most cases there is no paralysis of the tongue or speech-forming organs. As a rule the intellect is unaffected, the patient has the ideas, but lacks the power to give them proper expression through words, written language, or gesture. If the patient is enable to write, the condition is known as agraphia.
Following the resuscitation, he grew confused and excited, and within twenty-four hours he recovered from the acute episode but showed incomplete amnesia for his act. He stated that he remembered firing the shots, but had no remembrance of strangulating her. Soon after this he passed into a peculiar state of confusion; in addition, fabrications and retention defect were also demonstrated.
It became evident at once, however, that except for his amnesia Ben's mind was perfectly sound: he passed all general intelligence tests with a high score, he conversed easily, he talked frankly of his symptoms.
The last report I had from them about a month ago shows that the original amnesia has been completely resolved." Trigger looked surprised. "If it's been resolved," she said reasonably, "why don't I remember what happened?" "You aren't supposed to become conscious of it before the final interview I don't know the reason for that. But the memory is available now. On tap, so to speak.
In some cases of incomplete and in nearly all cases of complete aphasia, involuntary sentences are ejaculated. According to Seguin a reverend old gentleman affected with amnesia of words was forced to utter after the sentence, "Our Father who art in heaven," the words "let Him stay there."
To follow those suspicions to their stopping place Barry had feigned amnesia. And it had lasted just long enough for this grinning man who stood at the foot of the bed to tickle his feet! And how should that grotesque giant with his blazing red shirt and queer little cap know of such things as amnesia and the tracing of a deadened nerve? How should he, then Barry suddenly tensed.
"You don't know what Marscorp is, do you?" asked the Chief curiously. "The name's familiar," replied Dark. "It's a spaceline, isn't it?" "If your amnesia is genuine, you might very well react in such a fashion," said the Chief reflectively. "Marscorp is the Mars Corporation, and it's the only spaceline that serves Mars now.
Then he plunged ahead, quickly. "You've heard of amnesia? Good. Well, I've got it partially. If you can tell me anything about myself before yesterday, Miss, I'll never be anything but...." He choked on that, unable to finish. And behind the surface emotions, his mind was poised, sniffing for danger.
