Question

what's the difference between Lucy in the movie fifty first dates and Henry Molaison memory loss?

Answer 1

Lucy in the movie fifty first dates was suffering from Goldfield syndrome. "Goldfield syndrome" was originally a fictional syndrome where memory for the events of the day were normal but where overnight memories were lost. Interestingly this syndrome was originates in this fictional film.

Henry Gustav Molaison (February 26, 1926 – December 2, 2008) known widely as H.M., was an American memory disorder patient. His general condition has been described as heavy anterograde amnesia ( loss of the ability to create new memories), as well as temporally graded retrograde amnesia (loss of memory-access to events that occurred, or information that was learned, before an injury or the onset of a disease).
