Mr. Burke’s memory was also affected by his injury. When his daughter visits and starts talking about last summer’s Lake Mead trip where the whole family played cards, he doesn’t seem to remember it at all. However, he can tell you that Lake Mead is in Arizona and he remembers the names of all his children and grandchildren. When you hand him a pack of cards, he automatically shuffles them and starts playing solitaire. What does this tell you about the types of memory that seem to be intact vs. those that were affected by his brain injury?
