This research investigated forgetting rates of patients with temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) at brief and longer intervals.
The sample is formed by 5 patients with TLE and 10 healthy individuals. One of the patients received the diagnosis of transient epileptic amnesia (TEA). All patients underwent a standardized clinical protocol for diagnosis including a comprehensive neuropsychological assessment. In addition, two experimental tasks were used to assess the forgetting rates at 4 intervals (30s, 10min, 1day, and 1week): a story task to evaluate verbal cued recall and a route task to assess visuospatial cued recall.
There were no significant differences between groups in forgetting rates.
These findings suggest that forgetting patterns in patients with TLE may be heterogeneous, and the presence of accelerated long-term forgetting is not universal.
本研究调查了颞叶癫痫（TLE）患者在短时间和较长时间间隔下的遗忘率。
样本由5名TLE患者和10名健康个体组成。其中一名患者被诊断为短暂性癫痫性失忆症（TEA）。所有患者均接受了标准化的临床诊断方案，包括全面的神经心理学评估。此外，使用两项实验任务来评估4个时间间隔（30秒、10分钟、1天和1周）的遗忘率：一个故事任务用于评估言语线索回忆，一个路线任务用于评估视觉空间线索回忆。
两组在遗忘率上没有显著差异。
这些发现表明，TLE患者的遗忘模式可能是异质性的，加速长期遗忘的情况并不普遍。
