Editing Short-term memory (section)

====Anterograde amnesia====
One form of evidence supporting the existence of a short-term store comes from [[anterograde amnesia]], which is when individuals cannot learn new long-term facts and episodes. Despite these challenges, patients with this form of [[amnesia]] have an intact ability to retain small amounts of information over short time scales (up to 30 seconds) but have little ability to form longer-term memories (illustrated by [[HM (patient)|patient HM]]). This suggests that short-term store is spared from damage and diseases.<ref>{{Cite journal |last1=Smith |first1=Christine N. |last2=Frascino |first2=Jennifer C. |last3=Hopkins |first3=Ramona O. |last4=Squire |first4=Larry R. |date=2013 |title=The nature of anterograde and retrograde memory impairment after damage to the medial temporal lobe |journal=Neuropsychologia |language=en |volume=51 |issue=13 |pages=2709–2714 |doi=10.1016/j.neuropsychologia.2013.09.015 |pmc=3837701 |pmid=24041667}}</ref>
