Episodic memory: new insights from the study of semantic dementia.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The study of patients with semantic dementia, the temporal variant of frontotemporal dementia, has provided new insights into the interaction between episodic and semantic memory, and the different roles played by various structures in the temporal lobe. Recent findings indicate that the syndrome of semantic dementia can inform us about the organisation of long-term memory and the relationship between semantic memory and other cognitive systems.

Patients with epilepsy are at the risk of cognitive disorders and abnormalities of behavior. The purpose of this study is to compare the episodic memory and semantic memory in patients with temporal lobe epilepsy and healthy control subjects. This is a causal – comparative study. The study population was patients with epilepsy Iranian epilepsy society in Tehran, that, among 20 patients wi...
متن کاملInsights from semantic dementia on the relationship between episodic and semantic memory.
An influential theory of long-term memory, in which new episodic learning is dependent upon the integrity of semantic memory, predicts that a double dissociation between episodic and semantic memory is not possible in new learning. Contrary to this view, we found, in two separate experiments, that patients with impaired semantic memory showed relatively preserved performance on tests of recogni...
متن کاملNew learning in semantic dementia: Implications for cognitive and neuroanatomical models of long-term memory
Research involving patients with the syndrome of semantic dementia has provided a number of theoretical insights into the organisation of episodic and semantic memory. Here, we review recent studies which indicate that recognition memory for pictorial stimuli (such as objects, faces, etc.) is typically preserved, in at least the early stages of the disease. This evidence is discussed in the con...
متن کاملA SEMantic and EPisodic Memory Test (SEMEP) Developed within the Embodied Cognition Framework: Application to Normal Aging, Alzheimer's Disease and Semantic Dementia
Embodiment has highlighted the importance of sensory-motor components in cognition. Perception and memory are thus very tightly bound together, and episodic and semantic memories should rely on the same grounded memory traces. Reduced perception should then directly reduce the ability to encode and retrieve an episodic memory, as in normal aging. Multimodal integration deficits, as in Alzheimer...
متن کاملThe contribution of the study of neurodegenerative disorders to the understanding of human memory.
Memory impairment is one of the most common complaints affecting patients with neurodegenerative disorders, and its investigation has provided insights into the function and properties of human memory. The study of Alzheimer's disease has indicated the importance of mesial temporal structures and the hippocampus in episodic memory. In progressive supranuclear palsy, frontotemporal dementias, Pa...
