[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 539113, member: 84"] Now see...........it was OK city not Kansas city..........and when someone points that out, I'm like Duh *smack forehead* .......but probably 80 percent of the time when I say that one.....I do the kansas city one first, dunno why. Usually my long term memory is awfully darn good. But if I don't associate it with something......the memory won't be as sharp.......or if it's not something I see as critical to remember. Not that OK city wasn't important......it was, and it disturbed me that I had actual neighbors involved in it, but at the time I was so busy with difficult child stuff I didn't file it away properly. So now it's a fuzzier memory than say 9/11. And this is the thing with memory. Even with a "normal" person it's going to depend on how they file info away, what they think important to file away....... Other than a severely affected Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) person (probably stroke) or a severely disturbed "out of reality loop" person, most of those questions would be answered easily and skills done easily, even with a person with a significant memory issue. I can do those things without thinking much about it........don't ask me who the VP is though because I don't' have a clue (couldn't tell you Bush's or Clinton's either). IF you ask me something too fast....I'm likely to draw a complete blank (as in my thoughts literally go black in my head), it might or might not come back in a few minutes so I can answer the question. Travis' memory isn't the greatest, never has been.......but it's going to determine what is asked and how. So it ought to be interesting. [/QUOTE]
