The neuropsychology of human memory.
In agreement with the neuropsychological findings, available anatomical data from patients with diencephalic or bitemporal amnesia suggest that these amnesias need not result from damage to a single functional system. In the case of diencephalic amnesia, the mammillary bodies and the dorsomedial thalamic nucleus have been implicated, but it is not yet clear which structure deserves the greater ...
متن کاملSpecial Issue the Neuropsychology of Autobiographical Memory
This special issue of Cortex focuses on the relative contribution of different neural networks to memory and the interaction of ‘core’ memory processes with other cognitive processes. In this article, we examine both. Specifically, we identify cognitive processes other than encoding and retrieval that are thought to be involved in memory; we then examine the consequences of damage to brain regi...
متن کاملMemory and neuropsychology in Down syndrome
This paper outlines the strengths and weaknesses in both short-term and long-term memory in Down syndrome, and the implications of these patterns for both other aspects of cognitive development and underlying neural pathology. There is clear evidence that Down syndrome is associated with particularly poor verbal short-term memory performance, and a deficit in verbal short-term memory would be e...
متن کاملAutobiographical Memory across the Life Span Brain Imaging and Neuropsychology
Memory is defined as being composed of several systems, each with its distinct neural basis. Of these systems the episodic-autobiographical one is considered to have evolved latest and to be most vulnerable to brain damage or stress conditions. Especially structures of the limbic and the prefrontal cortex are regarded as essential for an appropriate processing of autobiographical events. The im...
متن کاملInterdependence of episodic and semantic memory: evidence from neuropsychology.
Tulving's (1972) theory of memory draws a distinction between general knowledge (semantic memory) and memory for events (episodic memory). Neuropsychological studies have generally examined each type of memory in isolation, but theorists have long argued that these two forms of memory are interdependent. Here we review several lines of neuropsychological research that have explored the interdep...
