Abstract

A patient with Korsakoff's syndrome is presented, who showed a selective loss of Autobiographical Memory along with a preserved Semantic Memory. Confabulations were a prominent feature. They only involved Autobiographical Memory and were persistent in time and consistent in content. The implications of these findings for understanding the nature of Autobiographical Memory impairment are discussed.

  • Many patients who confabulate do not also show perseveration on the MWCST or in everyday settings.

    “A difficulty for this account however is that many patients who confabulate do not also show perseveration on the MWCST, or in everyday settings (see, e.g., patients reported by Dalla Barba et al., 1990, and Delbecq-Derouesne et al., 1990).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
