Touch, taste, smell, sound, sight.
These are the five senses according to generally accepted wisdom.
Some add proprioception (body awareness), pain and balance.
But what use are any of them without memory?
If you couldn’t remember your family, your own face, how to communicate……how would you cope in the world? If you couldn’t remember what you were doing twenty seconds ago, how would you live your life? Would you remember to eat? Would you be in a constant state of surprise about the smallest things around you? Would you ever be able to form relationships? Would you understand yourself?
