متن کاملThe performance of amnesic subjects on tests of experimental amnesia in animals: delayed matching-to-sample and concurrent learning.
A group of amnesic Korsakoff subjects and a group of alcoholic controls were trained on a test of visual recognition, delayed matching-to-sample with trial unique stimuli. This test was modelled on comparable tasks used in the development of animal models of human amnesia. It was found that the Korsakoff subjects were severely impaired when the task difficulty was increased by lengthening the r...

Results indicated that the demented patients 1) scored significantly below normal controls and 2) had equal impairment for all time periods. This pattern was like that seen in other dementing illnesses (i.e., Huntington's and Alzheimer's diseases), b...
