Examples of confabulation in Korsakoff patients, Alzheimer-type dementing patients, and healthy subjects are discussed. It is argued that there may be two types of confabulation: spontaneous confabulation, which may result from the superimposition of frontal dysfunction on an organic amnesia, and provoked confabulation, which may reflect a normal response to a faulty memory. In the present study, instances of provoked confabulation, given by Korsakoff and Alzheimer patients in story recall, were compared with those produced by healthy subjects at a prolonged retention interval.
本文讨论了柯萨科夫综合征患者、阿尔茨海默型痴呆患者和健康受试者中虚构症的实例。有人认为,虚构症可能有两种类型:自发性虚构症,可能是额叶功能障碍叠加在器质性失忆症上导致的;诱发性虚构症,可能反映了对错误记忆的正常反应。在本研究中,比较了柯萨科夫综合征患者和阿尔茨海默病患者在故事回忆中产生的诱发性虚构症实例与健康受试者在延长的保持间隔下产生的实例。
