This study began as an attempt to identify common characteristics of various types of amnesia. The study demonstrated some significant trends for certain characteristics to be present or claimed in various types of amnesia. However, the study did demonstrate the need for a new system of classification. Such a classification is proposed, consisting of 4 main headings with a few sub-categories under each main heading.
