Recall of remote episodic memory in amnesia.
Recall of remote episodic memory was assessed in three types of amnesic patient whose remote semantic memory had been evaluated previously. Patients with Korsakoff's syndrome, case N.A. and patients receiving electroconvulsive therapy all succeeded in recalling specific autobiographical episodes in response to single-word cues, and in many conditions performed as well as control subjects. Their...
متن کاملCross-task repetition amnesia: Impaired recall of RSVP targets held in memory for a secondary task.
People often fail to select and encode the second of two targets presented within less than 500ms in rapid serial visual presentation (RSVP), an effect known as the attentional blink. We investigated how report of the two targets is affected when one of them is maintained in working memory for a secondary, memory-search task. The results showed that report of either target was impaired when it ...
متن کاملLong-term memory in amnesia: cued recall, recognition memory, and confidence ratings.
We explored what kind of information is acquired when amnesic patients are able to exhibit significant retention on tests of cued recall and recognition memory. Amnesic patients and control subjects attempted to learn sets of sentences. Memory for the last word in each sentence was tested after 1 hr in the case of the amnesic patients, or after 1 to 2 weeks in the case of (delayed) control subj...
متن کاملPostoperative anterograde amnesia.
The problems of defining and estimating preand postoperative amnesia are discussed. The extent of postoperative (anterograde) amnesia in patients receiving pre-operative medication (consisting of atropine, pethidine and pentobarbitone) followed by general anaesthesia (consisting of thiopentone, halothane and nitrous oxide) was ascertained. Two control groups were employed; one received spinal a...
متن کاملThe influence of levels of processing on recall from working memory and delayed recall tasks.
Recent research in working memory has highlighted the similarities involved in retrieval from complex span tasks and episodic memory tasks, suggesting that these tasks are influenced by similar memory processes. In the present article, the authors manipulated the level of processing engaged when studying to-be-remembered words during a reading span task (Experiment 1) and an operation span task...
