Or if she was a robot, we might say that her memory-formation was impaired, and the chain that led from patterned stimuli to appropriate responses was broken, as well as the normal process of generating actions and carrying them out. However, she was able to carry out some actions that had been previously generated, making it likely that she was not generating new actions.
