Contribution of Prior Semantic Knowledge to New Episodic Learning in Amnesia
We evaluated whether prior semantic knowledge would enhance episodic learning in amnesia. Subjects studied prices that are either congruent or incongruent with prior price knowledge for grocery and household items and then performed a forced-choice recognition test for the studied prices. Consistent with a previous report, healthy controls' performance was enhanced by price knowledge congruency...
متن کاملon the comparison of keyword and semantic-context methods of learning new vocabulary meaning
the rationale behind the present study is that particular learning strategies produce more effective results when applied together. the present study tried to investigate the efficiency of the semantic-context strategy alone with a technique called, keyword method. to clarify the point, the current study seeked to find answer to the following question: are the keyword and semantic-context metho...
15 صفحه اولCOMMENTARY Episodic Memory, Semantic Memory, and Amnesia
Episodic memory and semantic memory are two types of declarative memory. There have been two principal views about how this distinction might be reflected in the organization of memory functions in the brain. One view, that episodic memory and semantic memory are both dependent on the integrity of medial temporal lobe and midline diencephalic structures, predicts that amnesic patients with medi...
متن کاملThe Status of Semantic and Episodic Memory in Amnesia
Since Scoville and Milner's landmark report of the amnesic patient referred to as H.M., it has been known that the medial temporal lobes play a critical role in our ability to form new memories. Importantly, studies of amnesia have highlighted the fact that not all forms of memory are equally affected by damage to the medial temporal lobes. Nondeclarative or implicit memory is largely intact, a...
متن کاملNew semantic learning and generalization in a patient with amnesia.
New learning of semantic information is impaired in amnesia. Several reports have demonstrated that "errorless" learning techniques have allowed patients with amnesia to acquire at least some form of new semantic information, although this information appears to be relatively inflexible. Using insights and principles from connectionist modeling of cortical and medial temporal lobe memory system...
