Gah, I knew that your science would thwart me... I know that with accident & stroke victims, they do need to relearn certain skills with substantial memory loss. Would memory loss equal brain damage? It seems to me that walking, talking, are long and complex learning processes that are cumulative learning experiences. So if one or two days are removed as an toddler, no likely effect but some formulative years...?

Would these be instinctive skills? How could one play Trivia without memories of learning the facts in school, etc? Not an infant then. How about emotional maturity then? Are learning and memory separate then?
