I just read this, and it really struck me:
Patient S has hypermnesia, the opposite of amnesia-instead of forgeeting everything, he remembered everything. S was unsble to recognize that different views of the same person were related to a single individual. If he saw a person smiling, that was one face; if the person later was frowning, that was another face. S found it difficult to integrate the many different expression and viewing angle of a person into a single, coherent representation of that person. He complained to Dr. Luria:
"Everyone has so many faces!"
It's so true, isn't it? I could write my own thoughts about it, but take from it what you will. And comment on it what you will.
