· Anterograde – prevents new LTM forming
· Retrograde – can’t recall prior LTMs
· Temporal gradient, older memories are easier to recall, consolidation is disrupted
· Issac and Myers (1999) could retrieve memories but not consolidate them, meaning amnesiacs were good on recall but not recognition
· Gabrieli (1998) CA1 hippocampus damage causes anterograde amnesia
· Reed and Squire (1998) temporal lobe damage causes worsened affects
· Remondes and Schman (2004) rats with damage to the hippocampus could learn new maxes but forgot them quickly, showing there is a problem with consolidation
