A total of 59 people with chronic epilepsy recalled autobiographical episodes and personal facts (such as the names of friends or teachers) from various lifetime periods. Also tested was their verbal fluency and their fluency in generating items from semantic categories (animals, vegetables, US presidents, and British prime ministers). Results of a cluster analysis and a common factor analysis confirmed a dissociation between the retrieval of autobiographical information and that of nonpersonal semantic information. There was a similar dissociation between the recall of personal episodes and the recall of the personal information, but the corresponding factors were highly correlated with one another. Finally, verbal fluency performance was significantly correlated with the retrieval of personal information, personal episodes, and common objects, but not with that of public figures. The constituent structure of autobiographical fluency is extremely robust across different populations.
共有59名慢性癫痫患者回忆了来自不同人生阶段的自传性事件和个人事实（如朋友或老师的名字）。还测试了他们的语言流畅性以及从语义类别（动物、蔬菜、美国总统和英国首相）生成项目的流畅性。聚类分析和共同因素分析的结果证实了自传性信息检索与非个人语义信息检索之间的分离。个人事件的回忆与个人信息的回忆之间也存在类似的分离，但相应的因素彼此高度相关。最后，语言流畅性表现与个人信息、个人事件和常见物体的检索显著相关，但与公众人物的检索无关。自传流畅性的组成结构在不同人群中极其稳健。
