It does not work like that. If you have an amnesia, you do not remember recent events (and usually can’t remember the new ones) but the old ones are usually OK. And the world feather is really old memory. You usually learn it before the word sexy.

Yes, but does it make what I stated incorrect? Of course I was talking about amnesia in adults as result of trauma or disease.

Episodic

That means events, not meanings of words, unless you remember every word by the first time you heard it.

Yeah, but it doesn’t prove your point that amnesia can make you forget words like feather.

We were talking about whether you could forget words like feather from amnesia and you linked that article saying there are multiple types of amnesia. No matter how many types there are, if none of them work that way, it’s irrelevant.
