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 کاملCOMMENTARY 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...

Once seen, the syndrome of transient global amnesia (TGA) is never forgotten. Patients abruptly discover that they are unable to recall recent events. Their perplexity is deepened by an inability to retain new information. This leads to repetitive but futile questioning of their companions. Attacks typically last about 4 hours. By the next day patients report that their memory is back to normal...
متن کاملRemote memory deficits in transient epileptic amnesia.
Transient epileptic amnesia is a form of temporal lobe epilepsy in which sufferers often complain of irretrievable loss of remote memories. We used a broad range of memory tests to clarify the extent and nature of the remote memory deficits in patients with transient epileptic amnesia. Performance on standard tests of anterograde memory was normal. In contrast, there was a severe impairment of ...
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...
