beings. A number of conditions can affect memory, however. These include both the experience itself and the impact of certain conditions such as amnesia, alzheimers, and Korskoffs syndrome.
To understand memory it is first necessary to explain memory formation in terms of the neurological processes which are involved. The second task at hand is to explain
those processes in terms of an activity in which memory formation is an integral component. By taking this approach the impacts of memory by such diseases as amnesia, alzheimers,
and Korskoffs syndrome can be better understood. Memory is a direct result of cognitive learning. Cognitive learning is the process in which knowledge is acquired. It involves an
individual being cognizant of his or her environment and gaining knowledge from that environment. This involves both thinking and problem solving which in turn results in memory formation and
learning. The physiology of the phenomena of memory formation is extremely complex. Memory is directly associated with the hippocampus area of the brain and involves a number of
neurological interactions between the hippocampus and its components such as mossy fibers. Injury to the hippocampus area of the brain, whether through physical trauma or disease such as Alzheimers,
results in detriment to spatial and non-spatial learning, serial learning, memory, and tasks such as passive avoidance performance (Compton, 1996; Dean et. al., 1981). Sleep is also a
phenomena which is associated with memory. Some researchers investigating REM sleep report an interaction of the anterior cingulate cortex, amygdaloid complexes and posterior areas of the brain (Maquet et.
al., 1996). They speculate that these interactions may have an effect on memory traces (Maquet et. al., 1996). To better understand the neurological processes associated with memory formation and
