COMMENTARY 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 کاملTopographic amnesia: spatial memory disorder, perceptual dysfunction, or category specific semantic memory impairment?
A 60 year old patient, SE, who presented with a severe difficulty in finding his way around previously familiar environments and a mild prosopagnosia is described. SE had herpes simplex encephalitis resulting in selective right temporal lobe damage. He showed normal spatial learning, but was severely imparied in his ability to recognise pictures of buildings and landmarks. The disorder was not ...
متن کاملHypnosis, memory and amnesia.
Hypnotized subjects respond to suggestions from the hypnotist for imaginative experiences involving alterations in perception and memory. Individual differences in hypnotizability are only weakly related to other forms of suggestibility. Neuropsychological speculations about hypnosis focus on the right hemisphere and/or the frontal lobes. Posthypnotic amnesia refers to subjects' difficulty in r...
متن کاملSemantic memory and frontal executive function during transient global amnesia.
To assess semantic memory and frontal executive function, two patients underwent neuropsychological testing during transient global amnesia (TGA) and after an interval of 6-8 weeks. In spite of a profound deficit in anterograde verbal and non-verbal memory, semantic memory was normal, as judged by category fluency measures, picture naming, and picture-word and picture-picture matching, and read...
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...
