memory processes

single dissociation

damage to a specific brain area impairs one cognitive function while leaving another

task resource artifact

occur when both explicit and implicit memory rely on the same underlying process

double association

damage to area A impairs function X but not Y, and damage to area B impairs function Y but not function X

recognition memory task

MS performed as well as healthy controls, while amnesiacs performed poorly, confirming the role of the hippocampus in explicit memory

word stem completion task

both controls and amnesiacs showed equal priming, but MS showed a disruption in implicit memory for visual stimuli
