Can a person with amnesia remember what they studied?

I know amnesiacs still remember their muscle memory such as reading and writing. But like, for example, they forget their personal life but can they still remember stuff like what they studied in school, list of countries and sports, names of food, how social system or politics work, etc.?

Amnesia isn’t a singular thing. There are various different kinds of memory loss that are greatly depend on what kind of damage was done to the brain. So the answer is “sometimes” for most of the things that you might think about.

I have never been diagnosed with amnesia, but have difficulty with recall after a snowboarding accident. When I take exams, it’s like my body knows something I don’t. I can do complex math I don’t remember, but if I try to think about it there’s nothing there.

Every amnesia case is different. So sometimes yes.

Some remember everything well up a certain date and then things are fuzzy after that point
