The present study examined whether the recognition memory deficit in amnesia would be attenuated under conditions that increased the salience of study-induced fluency. Studied and unstudied items were drawn either from separate pools of letters (no-overlap condition) or from the same pool of letters (overlap condition). Study-induced fluency was more salient in the no-overlap than in the overlap condition, because in the no-overlap condition, such fluency occurred at the letter level as well as at the word level. The recognition memory impairment in amnesia was smaller in the no-overlap than in the overlap condition. These findings are consistent with the idea that enhancing the salience of fluency cues promotes reliance on a fluency heuristic that ordinarily is not fully engaged in amnesia, and reduces the recognition memory impairment in amnesia.
本研究考察了在增加学习诱导流畅性显著性的条件下,失忆症患者的识别记忆缺陷是否会得到缓解。学习过的和未学习过的项目要么来自不同的字母库(无重叠条件),要么来自相同的字母库(重叠条件)。学习诱导流畅性在无重叠条件下比在重叠条件下更显著,因为在无重叠条件下,这种流畅性在字母层面和单词层面都会出现。失忆症患者的识别记忆损伤在无重叠条件下比在重叠条件下更小。这些发现与以下观点一致,即增强流畅性线索的显著性会促进对流畅性启发式策略的依赖,而这种策略在失忆症中通常没有得到充分运用,并减少失忆症患者的识别记忆损伤。
