A case of transient amnesia is described in which a patient reported memory loss for five days, during which he had wandered extensively. Analysis showed that he did not have selective amnesia for the public events which had occurred during the five days for which he professed memory loss. This finding was incompatible with our case having a neurologically based global memory disorder during the fugue state. These findings offer support for a distinction between personal and public episodic memory.
本文描述了一例短暂性失忆症患者，该患者自述失忆长达五天，在此期间他四处游荡。分析表明，对于他声称失忆的这五天里发生的公共事件，他并未出现选择性失忆。这一发现与我们关于该病例在神游状态下存在基于神经学的全面记忆障碍的假设不符。这些发现为区分个人情节记忆和公共情节记忆提供了支持。
