In a re-examination of the recognition memory of Jon, a young adult with developmental amnesia due to perinatal hippocampal damage, we used a test procedure that provides estimates of the separate contributions to recognition of recollection and familiarity. Comparison between Jon and his controls revealed that, whereas he was unimpaired in the familiarity process, he showed abnormally low levels of recollection, supporting the view that the hippocampus mediates the latter process selectively.
在对乔恩的识别记忆进行重新测试时,乔恩是一名因围产期海马体损伤而患有发育性失忆症的年轻人,我们采用了一种测试程序,该程序能够分别估算出回忆和熟悉度对识别的贡献。乔恩与其对照组之间的比较显示,虽然他在熟悉度过程中未受损害,但他的回忆水平异常低,这支持了海马体选择性地介导后一过程的观点。
