A patient had transient memory loss for close family members. She could not even recognise their names as familiar. Her everyday memory was relatively preserved and she retained a clear recollection of the episode. Standard and sleep deprived EEG showed a mild abnormality of the left temporal lobe. Neuropsychological testing found evidence for a mild verbal memory impairment. The findings provide further evidence for the fractionation of transient forms of amnesia, support the dissociation of semantic/retrograde amnesia from episodic/anterograde amnesia, and offer evidence in favour of a left temporal lobe site for retrieval of past memories relating to the identification of people.
一名患者对近亲出现短暂性记忆丧失。她甚至无法将他们的名字识别为熟悉的事物。她的日常记忆相对保留，并且对该事件仍有清晰的回忆。标准脑电图和睡眠剥夺脑电图显示左颞叶有轻度异常。神经心理学测试发现存在轻度言语记忆障碍的证据。这些发现为短暂性失忆形式的分离提供了进一步证据，支持语义/逆行性失忆与情景/顺行性失忆的分离，并为左颞叶是检索与人物识别相关的过去记忆的部位提供了证据。
