Clive WearingBACKGROUND:
> After suffering from an illness, musician Clive Wearing had damage to his temporal lobes and his
hippocampus was completely destroyed.
> STM duration of only 7 seconds, and therefore forgets the beginning of sentences and feels like he has
only just awoken from unconsciousness.
> He cannot rehearse new information or commit it to LTM.
> He cannot remember long term memories apart from procedural ones, such as playing the piano.
SIGNIFICANCE:
> This case study provides evidence for the multistore model as his STM and LTM are affected differently,
proving that they must be in different stores.
