My declarative memory can't retain information unless my non-declarative memory says it matters. Once I saw how these labels and patterns meant something to me emotionally, they became resources for survival. <BR/>Unfortunately, I'm having trouble with my declarative memory right now such that I can't think well enough to prepare for the class I have to teach tomorrow on Self-Awareness. <BR/>Can this damage be reversed even at age 46?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
