Philip's uncle exhibited an "associative" memory deficit.

In psychology, associative memory is characterized as the capacity to learn and recollect the connection between disconnected things. This would incorporate, for instance, recalling the name of somebody or the fragrance of a specific scent. This sort of memory deals particularly with the connection between these diverse articles or ideas.
