Amnestic syndrome

Amnestic syndrome is a type of selective or focal cognitive dysfunction, in which the patient is clearly aware and relatively intelligent. Outstanding clinical manifestations are recent memory impairments and fictional tendencies. Patients are most likely to forget about recent events, especially the names, places, and numbers they have recently come into contact with. In order to make up for these memory defects, they often produce misconceptions (which do happen, but the time and place do not match) and fictions (the patient Report, all fabricated). Patients are prone to suggestiveness, and if new hints are given to patients, they can lead to the creation of new fictional content.
