1. Memory and Learning

Depending on which part of the brain is affected by the Stroke, various problems with memory may occur, such as the ability to remember people's names or faces, or to carry out daily tasks. It may also take longer to learn things.

A person experiencing memory difficulties may find it helpful to use a notebook, calender, diary, tape recorder, or notice-board to remind himself/herself of things that need to be remembered.
