Clive, Part 2

This was Part 2 to Clive's story. Equally as fascinating, and judging by the change in his wife's appearence, it must have took part a few years after the first one.

Main Ideas:

This video focused more on making Clive comfortable, acting on the fact that he gets extremely emotional in unfamiliar circumstances, as addressed in the first movie. When he is put into strange situations, there is more stress to his memory, causing more emotion. When he stays somewhere familiar, there is less demand on him to remember, and he stays calm. His wife Deborah is also more involved in this video.
I found it particularly interesting when she was asking him what month it was, and he guessed correctly, and then knew that next month was his birthday, and his brothers.
