Forgetting was assessed in the amnesic patient H.M. using forced-choice and yes-no picture recognition at four delay intervals: 10 min, 24 hr, 72 hr, and 1 week after learning. In order to make H.M.'s initial recognition performance comparable to that of control subjects who viewed each slide for 1 sec, H.M. viewed each slide for 20 sec. H.M. displayed normal forgetting in forced-choice and yes-no recognition, although he was impaired in yes-no recognition at the 24-hr delay interval. These data contradict Huppert and Piercy's hypothesis that medical temporal-lobe pathology is associated with rapid forgetting.
通过在四个延迟间隔（学习后10分钟、24小时、72小时和1周）使用迫选法和是/否图片识别任务，对遗忘症患者H.M.的遗忘情况进行了评估。为了使H.M.的初始识别表现与那些每张幻灯片观看1秒的对照受试者相当，H.M.每张幻灯片观看20秒。H.M.在迫选法和是/否识别任务中表现出正常的遗忘情况，尽管在24小时延迟间隔的是/否识别任务中他存在受损。这些数据与Huppert和Piercy的假设相矛盾，该假设认为颞叶医学病理学与快速遗忘有关。
