    Last time we started uncovering the deep secrets of Dory, the lovable Nemo companion who claims she has retrograde amnesia throughout the original Finding Nemo. But is this really the whole story? Does Dory REALLYhave retrograde amnesia or has she been FAKING IT all along? Well, I have some thoughts that might surprise you about Dory’s symptoms an what she’s actually hiding....

      though more likely, Ellen didn't. i'm guessing, if this was anything like a lot of their other movies, they just let ellen (the voice actor) run her mouth, grabbed half of the nonsense and drew the fish around that.
      they did that with a lot of the genie in aladdin & Robin Williams. he did a lot of improv, they grabbed the lines and bits they liked, handed it off to the animators and said, "here, your turn."

    So, I have something to add;
    I have memory problems due to traumatic brain injuries. Something I've noticed is that everyone is focusing on things she SHOULD remember or SHOULD NOT remember, when in reality brains are incredibly complex with different types of injuries dictating what kinds of memory issues you have.
    Having issues with memory like Dory does is a symptom of PCS, or Post Concussive Syndrome. When someone experiences a traumatic injury to the head, this usually results in a concussion. Many people recover completely from concussions, and have little to no side effects from them. PCS develops when the brain retains some symptoms of a concussion, e.g. memory problems, but Finding Nemo makes Dory's amnesia very cut and dry. She can't remember things that happen, and Matpat's assertion of procedural memory is spot on.
    Something I wanted to add is that memories can be recalled through triggers.
    I walk to the store, and see someone drop a watermelon.
    I take in the information, then forget it.
    Later, someone mentions that they had watermelon as a snack.
    I remember seeing a watermelon being dropped at the store.
    Then I forget that I remembered it.
    As long as my brain makes the connection that someone mentioning a watermelon brings up that memory, I'll continue to forget and remember that person dropping a watermelon at the store until it goes into my long term. That's what I think happened with Dory and the boat. She saw it, forgot it, and then someone mentioning the boat triggered an abrupt recall. (When your brain goes 'oh look a memory you didn't ask for' and you think about it out of nowhere.)
    To the people saying 'shouldn't she have forgotten that her amnesia runs in the family, if she can't remember her family in general?'
    Forgetting the injury that caused the trauma is really common. I personally can't remember any of mine. Sometimes the brain does this as a coping mechanism. If her way of coping was to believe that her amnesia was hereditary, instead of due to an injury, that's normal. Since she repeats that, it goes with procedural memory.
    She may not remember her family if she got the injury when she was young, because long term memory in ANYONE is faulty after a certain age. It's like how you know you've met a relative when you were younger, but can't say a thing about them.
    This turned into an essay so I know anyone who comments didn't read the whole thing, which is honestly fine. I just wanted to stake my claims.

      I read the whole thing, and now I want to tape down Matthew and talk about a cartoon fish that really DOES have amnesia and she's not faking it because of the info you put, But what if the parents are the ones who convinced her to move on from that injerey, what if they caused it and don't want her to know and thats why they tell her to not go to the reef or whatever, But hey, THATS JUST A THEORY

      I agree, I also have memory problems, although it is not anywhere near the severity of Dory’s, (maybe), and some of the points in the theory are true, but also Dory could still have memory issues on top of all of this. What Matpat forgets is that this disability, in real life, isn’t a 100% thing for everyone afflicted. Sometimes, symptoms can disappear and reappear randomly for different people. There are coping skills and other things that they can do to remember. Dory can still occasionally recall thing’s without forgetting even if it is in her short term memory. Having memory problems doesn’t always mean that in every scenario it will play out the same.

  • @bandagewastingmachine386
    @bandagewastingmachine386 3 ปีที่แล้ว +836

    You forgot another thing (spoiler):
    In finding Dory when she meets her parents again they remember her name, and she knows they're her parents. they all recognize each other the moment they meet and therefore it's obvious it doesn't run in the family. No way the parents would even remember they had a kid after that many years, let alone her name.

    She does remember that an octopus has 3 hearts, but until she meets Hank in Finding Nemo, she connects the dots about where she learned that fact. Same with Bailey’s echolocation.

The question is: Dory can't speak whale on account of Dentiny the whale shark that she speaks to and claims to have learned whale from. Yet she apparently "speaks" to an actual whale in finding nemo.

    I’d also like to point out that Dory remembering the boat from Finding Nemo is one of the key factors that keeps the plot progressing. By remembering the boat and the *direction* it was going in *throughout the whole movie* Dory helped Marlin significantly.
    But there are three things wrong here:
    1. As discussed in both videos Dory shouldn’t remember the boat
    2. Dory also shouldn’t remember the direction the boat was going in
    3. Even if Dory remembered the boat and direction *once* by some miracle, she should’ve forgotten at some point

    Guys, what if Dory's parents manipulated her thinking at a young age, telling her she had short term memory loss? If this was the case, she would not know what "true" short term memory loss was, but her parents would reinforce traits that would make her dependent on them. Even in Finding Dory her mother and father are crying saying, will she be okay? Which we assume in the movie is just worried parents hoping their child with memory loss will properly enter into society, but it could be parent who have deluded their child into being less than they are. This has happened in some cases with children, loving parents with good intentions that isolate their baby or keep their kids from feeling "normal". Kids are super impressionable

    It seems far more likely that she has trauma induced memory recall problems. It could explain why she remembers when she is around Marlin. Because he makes her feel safe and happy. This would alleviate some of the stress on her brain and even out her brain’s chemicals, allowing her neuro-pathways to function more normally.
    But hey thats just a theory

      Your example of him forgetting the title of the video is an example of declarative memory which applies to specific things. The name of the video is specific and somewhat unique. While mat saying a phrase he said dozens of times is procedural memory.

      Or, even though Dory's main character trait is short term memory loss, she needs to be able to remember some things to move the plot along.
      The instance where she cannot remember the names of the fish allow for Marlin to show his personality, and the shark instances would more commonly be seen as repetitive phrasing, not actual meaning.

    What if Dory's amnesia is Munchausen by Proxy? Which is when a person thinks they're sick because they have been convinced by someone else that they are. In Finding Dory, Dory's parents are practically paranoid about Dory forgetting things so easily that they hover over her. What if Dory hit her head when she was very young and forgot something temporarily, but her parents still treated her as if she was sick, convincing her young mind that she IS sick. The flashes of memories of her parents wouldn't happen if she actually had amnesia, but if she had repressed memories from the traumatic experience of being separated from her parents that would reinforce her "amnesia" but also allow the possibility of memories resurfacing so she goes looking for her parents in the second movie. ALSO Dory's parents actually told her that if anyone asks, to tell them that she has short term memory loss.
    Just a thought.
    Ps: if she did repress memories of losing her parents, it is possible that the only she remembered from her past is her parents telling her to say "my name is Dory and I have short term memory loss" so for all she knows she actually DOES have short term memory loss.

    My biggest problem with this theory is this: why would she fake having short term memory loss as a child within the aquarium?
    The whole crux of the argument is that she does this as a survival tactic, but if that we’re the case, she wouldn’t have a need to do this while WITHIN the walls of the aquarium, especially since any sort of fish that could potentially be a predator to her would be kept separate from her habitat.
    Even if she REALLY was faking it since she was a child for whatever reason, why would she even CONSIDER leaving the aquarium? No, I think it’s way more likely that she genuinely developed or was even born with short term memory loss from the very beginning.

    • @ResidentMilf
      @ResidentMilf 5 ปีที่แล้ว +19

      I have medication-induced memory loss, and it's sort of short term memory loss, but also sort of not. My problem isn't storage, it's recall. The memory is in there, it's bringing it to the surface that's the problem, and the newer the memory is the harder it gets. I often will struggle to remember a single word in a sentence, or fail to remember a specific detail such as who bought me a gift (even though I remember that it was a gift) or what I had for lunch yesterday. My procedural memory is extremely good, and there are several things I can do (sometimes very well) that when asked to recount the steps, I have to actually picture myself doing it in my head in order to be able to do so, if I can at all. If I am interrupted while telling a story, I have to be reminded of what point in the story I was.
      My symptoms are actually extremely similar to Dory's. Like the identifying sea creatures bit. When the school of fish are doing impressions, the shape may not be enough by itself to trigger the correct word in my brain, but other identifying factors might be just what I need. Maybe the shape combined with large teeth and gills could pull the word "shark" from my brain when the shape alone failed. And I frequently struggle with answers because it's not a case of "file not found" like it would be with retrograde, it's a little more like "enter password." A word being on the tip of my tongue is a frustratingly common occurrence, as I try to pull the word up from my uncooperative brain.

    Wait... if dory says *“I have short term memory loss I forget things almost instantly it runs in my family”*
    Wouldn’t she... not *remember* that?…

    • @Anne-hx3qx
      @Anne-hx3qx 3 ปีที่แล้ว +48

      Correction. “I survive by lying about an illness, it runs in my family” fits way better.
      But if she did suffer from it then it would be procedural memory since we’ve seen her say that to every fish she talks to, seen in her backstory when she was a lost child sooooo she could have a chance of remembering that phrase

    • @imkool1281
      @imkool1281 3 ปีที่แล้ว +34

      she has been saying that all her life so it's basically procedural memory by now

      Actually it's a procedural memory because she says it all the time, everytime she meets someone she says it so she will remember, example: she remembers her motto "just keep swimming"

    Dory, faking inability to remember names: keeps calling Nemo the wrong name.
    Me, who has trouble remembering names: it’s amazing how easy it is to have conversations without ever mentioning anyone’s name.
    Literally everyone who I’ve ever met who has trouble with names covers it by finding ways to avoid saying someone’s name, if you don’t call someone by their name they never have to find out you can’t remember it.

    but then wouldn't the entire plot of finding Dory lose it's issue? The movie specifically shows Dory's memories, more specifically her remembering something. Wouldn't the story be very different, her not needing to go on the whole chase? Idk it's just a thought

    • @janesmith5244
      @janesmith5244 4 ปีที่แล้ว +22

      I see what you mean but amnesiacs can still say it with an "o" at the end as long as its not every name they say, if you forgot somebody's name you would be called a lier for saying the same letter their name ended with. It would be random.
