摘要：

The performance of a group of three postencephalitic subjects with anterograde amnesia was examined on a series of concurrent visual discrimination problems and on a test of visual recognition, delayed matching-to-sample. These tests were chosen as they have been used to assess experimental models of anterograde amnesia in nonhuman primates. In comparison with a group of normal subjects the postencephalitic group were impaired on the more difficult concurrent discrimination problems. They also performed poorly on the matching-to-sample task when given lists of items to remember or given increased retention intervals, The pattern of performance of the postencephalitic group matched closely that of a group of Korsakoff subjects, indicating that these behavioural tests are equally sensitive to different types of anterograde amnesia.
