What Causes Learning Disability And Difficulty In Identifying Faces And Roads?
Question: Do I have memory loss? For example my memory for daily activities is excellent (I can repeat conversations exactly when many other people cant) But my memory for words is very poor. For example I may have to try learn a new vocabulary word by repeating it over and over and repeatedly checking the word where it was written down. Is that more of a learning disability than memory loss? Im afraid of alzeihmers
Brief Answer:
No alzheimers
