Dysnomia
Introduction
Dysnomia is a marked difficulty in remembering names or recalling words needed for oral or written language.
People with memory disabilities may have difficulty with short-term memory. They have trouble willfully remembering names, numbers, facts and even what they did a few minutes ago. These memory difficulties present significant problems in academic study. Such a person might study hard for a test or exam and think they know the material extremely well but be unable to recall specific information on the exam. It is not a deficit of intelligence or aptitude, but rather reflects a specific deficit of conscious recall. Template:Disease-stub
