Impaired event memory and recollection in a case of developmental amnesia.

摘要: A current debate in the literature is whether all declarative memories and associated memory processes rely on same neural substrate. Here, we show that H.C., a developmental amnesic person with selective bilateral hippocampal volume loss, has mild deficit personal episodic memory, more pronounced public event memory; semantic for general knowledge was unimpaired. This accompanied by subtle difference impairment between recollection familiarity lab-based tests of recognition memory. Strikingly, H.C.'s did not benefit from levels-of-processing manipulation. Thus, types related can exist independently hippocampus even if it damaged early life.
