A 3-yr follow-up study on the trend of memory performance in 9 elderly subjects with selective memory defects, which was carried out in an attempt to clarify the evolution of the disorder, revealed marked worsening of sensory visual memory, retention capacity and recent memory. No other mental function was compromised. The results of this study suggest that the onset of a selective memory defect in the elderly is not necessarily the expression of a demential amnestic syndrome, but rather the manifestation of a senile brain deterioration limited to the anatomo-functional memory system.
对9名患有选择性记忆缺陷的老年受试者的记忆表现趋势进行了一项为期3年的随访研究,旨在阐明该病症的演变情况,结果显示感觉视觉记忆、保持能力和近期记忆显著恶化。其他心理功能未受影响。这项研究结果表明,老年人选择性记忆缺陷的发作不一定是痴呆性遗忘综合征的表现,而更可能是仅限于解剖功能记忆系统的老年脑退化的表现。
