Thirty severe closed-head injured (CHI) participants (more than 1 year postinjury) and 30 matched controls completed eight different cognitive activities. Participants' free recall and recognition of the activities provided a measure of content memory. Temporal order memory was assessed with a reconstruction task. CHI participants recalled and recognized fewer activities than did controls. However, the CHI and control groups did not differ in temporal order memory. For both groups, recognition memory was not correlated with temporal order memory. These results demonstrate intact temporal order memory for performed activities in a severe CHI population, and support the notion of separate processing of content memory and order information. Issues related to automaticity and the roles of the frontal lobes in temporal order memory are also discussed.
30名重度闭合性颅脑损伤（CHI）参与者（受伤后1年以上）和30名匹配的对照组完成了八项不同的认知活动。参与者对这些活动的自由回忆和识别提供了内容记忆的一种测量方法。通过一项重构任务评估时间顺序记忆。与对照组相比，CHI参与者回忆和识别出的活动较少。然而，CHI组和对照组在时间顺序记忆方面没有差异。对于两组而言，识别记忆与时间顺序记忆不相关。这些结果表明，重度CHI人群对已执行活动的时间顺序记忆完好无损，并支持内容记忆和顺序信息分开处理的观点。还讨论了与自动性以及额叶在时间顺序记忆中的作用相关的问题。
