Recent experimental studies have suggested that patients with presenile dementia might have diffculty in retrieving information from memory as well as a reduced ability to acquire new information. The hypothesis that this retrieval difficulty might be due to an inability to inhibit the recall of irrelevant information was tested by two investigations. Free recall data failed to give clear support for the hypothesis but a prediction based upon recognition testing was confirmed.
近期的实验研究表明，早老性痴呆患者可能在从记忆中检索信息方面存在困难，同时获取新信息的能力也有所下降。两项调查对这种检索困难可能是由于无法抑制无关信息的回忆这一假设进行了检验。自由回忆数据未能为该假设提供明确支持，但基于识别测试的一项预测得到了证实。
