Title: Opening Skinner's Box
Author: Lauren Slater
Publisher: W.W. Norton & Company (2008)
Summary: Slater continues her analysis of memories in this chapter, telling the story of a person who had a frontal lobotomy. Due to this procedure, he no longer can form long term memories.
Discussion: This chapter was just as interesting and informative as the previous, giving a interesting look into how we form memories. Concepts like amnesia have always fascinated me, so it was interesting to look at someone who not only had lost memories, but could no longer form new ones.
