Twelve alcoholic Korsakoff patients, their 12 alcoholic controls, and 27 institutionalized schizophrenics and their 19 controls, recalled two stories. The clinical populations recalled approximately half as much as their controls, yet recalled the same parts of the stories as their controls. For both groups the ability to process simple prose does not seem to be severely impaired when what is recalled rather than how much is recalled is measured.
12名酒精所致柯萨科夫综合征患者及其12名酗酒对照者,以及27名住院精神分裂症患者及其19名对照者,回忆了两个故事。临床组回忆的内容约为其对照者的一半,但回忆的故事部分与对照者相同。对于这两组而言,当衡量的是回忆的内容而非回忆的量时,处理简单散文的能力似乎并未受到严重损害。
