Is personality dependent on memory? If you lose your memory, do you lose your personality?

If you somehow lost 100% of your memory, including all the subconscious memory (i.e. you even forget how to walk), would you lose your personality?

I've been thinking about what defines a person's identity. Is memory sufficient for identity? If personality is not a part of memory, then memory probably isn't sufficient for identity. This means that if you put someone's memory in another person's brain, the second person won't have the same personality as the first person.

Psychology really doesn't have a great answer for this. The arguement of Nature vs. Nurture has gone on for yeras, although it is now clear both are important to the nature of a person. So no, memory by itself does not form an identity. However, if you were to receive brain damage that caused you to lose that much memory you would probably lost a lot of your personality as well.

If you are curious for more info look up identical twin studies.
