It's hard to rember a 200 page word book word by word. It takes me about 30 minutes. Then two weeks later I know what it was about but forgot it word by word.How do you know if you have amnesia?
Most people can not remember 50 words, so you have a good memory.
Amnesia is normally caused by brain damage:

So, you do not have amnesia, you have a very good memory.How do you know if you have amnesia?
You don't have amnesia, but you don't have perfect memory either. Memory is like a muscle though, the more you exercise it, the more it grows. So if you keep memorizing things, your capabilities will increase. Only a doctor can diagnose amnesia. Poeple with amnesia tend to have "blanks" in their memory. They forget whole packs of time. If you have doubts, or don't remember days all together, you may wanna get checked up, to see if it's amensia or not, and what you can do about it.How do you know if you have amnesia?
if you wake up and can't remember your own name, what day of the week it is, where you live or what you do for a living you have a problem (or one hell of a hang-over!)
if you can't remember some 200 page book 2 weeks after reading it that just means you have a busy life and a poor memory!
I have my doctor's prescription, in which it is clearly written.

If you were a criminal but then you got amnesia would you still be convicted for what you did?
If you, let's say murdered a lot of people and then you were caught but then you got amnesia before you're trial, and you couldn't remember what you did it before, as you had forgotten everything, would you still get convicted for your past crimes?
Because if you have forgotten everything and you are like a diffeferent person then you shouldn't be charged for your crimes.If you were a criminal but then you got amnesia would you still be convicted for what you did?
Just because you don't remember your crimes does not mean that you are not responsible for them. Legal insanity requires that two elements exist. First, you must be incapable of understanding that what you did was wrong. Second, you must be incapable of controlling your actions. Amnesia would not meet this definition. If it did, everybody in court would claim that they don't remember doing it.
Now the court might determine that you are not mentally competent to stand trial, but only if your amnesia created a situation in which you were not able to assist in your own defense and not capable of understanding the charges against you. It would be unlikely that amnesia would fit this definition. Even if it did, you would simply be held indefinitely in an institution until such time as you are deemed fit to stand trial.
Amnesia does not mean that you are a different person. It simply means that you do not remember the person that you are, or don't remember certain incidents that involved you. You are still the same person whether you remember it or not.
That is a very interesting question. The problem is that the victims and the families of the victims did not forget. I think if the criminal has severe neurological problems then he should be in a neurological hospital like Baylor in Texas and volunteer for neurological testing. I have heard of crimes done while sleep walking and there is no memory as the person was sleep walking. This is another aspect of neurology. The person is innocent of the crime.....If you were a criminal but then you got amnesia would you still be convicted for what you did?
Yes you can still be convicted. Lots of accused folk claim that they lack any memory, from amnesia or alcoholic blackouts or just convenience, but the law requires only that the government prove the crime, not memory of the crime. BTW, as a defendant has a right to refuse to testify, how do you suppose the prosecutor could prove (or disprove) the defendant's true state of memory? Finally, loss of memory does not mean loss of character.
Not remembering things has nothing to do with it. If the evidence is enough to convict you it doesn't matter what you know or say or don't know or say.
Obviously you're thinking about whether a criminal could pretend to have lost his/her memory and get away with it. There might be a drastic rise in cases of amnesia if that were the case :-)If you were a criminal but then you got amnesia would you still be convicted for what you did?
If there were sufficient evidence to convict you, then you could stand trial, although you would be unable to give any evidence on your behalf or give very satisfactory answers to the questions put to you. Otherwise it would be all too easy for someone to claim memory loss when arrested and charged with offences.
You start with the premise that the person is guilty of the crimes, so there is no prospect of a return of memory and an appeal against conviction at a later point on the basis of fresh evidence.
Does not matter if the person cant remember what he/she did.
The person had the intent when the person committed the crimes so there was a crime committed by the person and can and will be charged. Amnesia will have no baring on the case
Besides amnesia will usually wear off after some time or treatment
Yes would would still be convicted and would probably be sentenced to a high security unit under s37/41 suppose you got 15years and then your time was spent, you wouldn't be released until your psyciatrist discharged you so your sentence would in effect be indefinate. Not a good thing to feign for an easier time. I worked with loads of youngsters that say they pretended mental illness cos they didn't like prison and found themselves in this situation.
Amnesia is a funny thing, you can get your memory
back if something triggers it, and murders
are a sure way of that happening, its still
at the back of your mind the courts would
send you to a psychiatrist. Proof is also
hard to fake if you were there at the scene.
Yes, you could still be convicted, because what counts is your mental state and culpability leading to, and at the time of, the commission of the crime.
Yes. You would be convicted if you were found fit to stand trial. Amnesia doesn't make you unfit, normally speaking. Also, your mental state AT THE TIME OF THE CRIME is what matters; not your mental state afterwards.
Most definitely you would be convicted of your crimes because they are based on the person you were before the amnesia. A person is held accountable for their acts, whether you remember them or not.
Yes, you are an adult and therefore responsible for your own actions. Too many criminals try to pretend they are crazy in order to dodge the consequences of their behaviour.
Yes as I expect there will be CCTV as Big Brother is always watching and it's all about evidence, evidence, evidence in convicting someone!!!!!
No you'd be sent to a mental institution...And would probs have to stay there all your life...
Yes, because you still did it

What webcomic contains a female goddess, a man with amnesia, and evil angel robot things?
I read this webcomic once in which this female goddess kept accusing this man of rape and all sorts of random stuff, and he's generally like wtf? He ends up waking up and some other chick gives him a name that's not Adam like the goddess says it should be. He goes out to fight these "angels" which look more like giant robosapien things.
I have no idea what it's called, so if anyone has some ideas, please let me know. Thanks!What webcomic contains a female goddess, a man with amnesia, and evil angel robot things?
If you've ever read the book Keeper of the Isis Light and know the story, there was a spin-off of the storyline which made the main character a lizard, the robot (Guardian) seem more stupid and the humans trying to destroy them. The spin-off was called Mange on Isis and was terrible.
I'm not sure if it's the one you are looking for, though.What webcomic contains a female goddess, a man with amnesia, and evil angel robot things?
It might be Neon Genesis Evangelion. I remember there were these weird robot alien things called angels but I'm not sure if that's what you're looking for.

What does the term "Fugue" used by psychologists mean? in what way it is different from simple amnesia?
A fugue state is a sudden forgetfulness by a person that includes forgetting their identity of anything else about themselves. It is usually a reversible state and cannot be associated with the use of psychogenic substances. It usually involves travel or being lost somewhere. It differs from simple amnesia in the sense that it is always reversible at some point and has not necessarily been usually with any injury or assault to the head and does not necessarily involve any other loss of functioning.
