Could retrograde amnesia affects mental behavior of a 5 year old child?

• What area of interest/research question do you wish to explore through a research study design?

I want to know how retrograde amnesia could affect the mind of a 5 year child.

• What variables or concepts are you looking to observe and/or manipulate?

I want to observe how the mental information of the child could be affected by this type of amnesia.

• What type of design would best suit your research question? (Experimental, Correlational, etc)

Experimental design would be the best option.

• What research method would you use to conduct your experiment? (Survey, case study, naturalistic observation, lab experiment, etc.)

I would like to use case study to observe the child behavior.

• Give a hypothesis about what you think you might find.

Because the retrograde amnesia produces a loss of information that was learned before an injury, I would like to find if a 5 year old kid could accept and overcome this memory impediment after the injury.

• What might be the benefits and implications of this study? In other words, who would gain from it?

The benefit of this case is understand how difficult would be this kind of trauma for a kid who can not remember his past and how parents and family could help him to accept and overcome the problem.

• Please reflect on the process of designing this experiment. What were the challenges you faced? Was this more/less difficult than you expected? How?

I saw a tv program about retrograde amnesia, I found it really intersting and also te tv show had relation to this class. I faced a challenge when I was watching the program because it was hard to understand, however, at the end of the program I was really interested on the topic.
