Abstract
This case report presents new semantic learning and long-term retention data collected over a 5-year period from an amnesic adolescent boy, CJ. Compared to his younger sister, a novel abbreviation-learning task captured CJ's slower semantic acquisition across three weekly training sessions. By contrast, his rate of forgetting between sessions was comparable to that of the control's and was slower over long delays of up to 5 years but recalled information without any reliable report of the original learning context.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Neuropsychology publishes original contributions to scientific knowledge in neuropsychology including:
• clinical and research studies with neurological, psychiatric and psychological patient populations in all age groups
• behavioural or pharmacological treatment regimes
• cognitive experimentation and neuroimaging
• multidisciplinary approach embracing areas such as developmental psychology, neurology, psychiatry, physiology, endocrinology, pharmacology and imaging science
The following types of paper are invited:
• papers reporting original empirical investigations
• theoretical papers; provided that these are sufficiently related to empirical data
• review articles, which need not be exhaustive, but which should give an interpretation of the state of research in a given field and, where appropriate, identify its clinical implications
• brief reports and comments
• case reports
• fast-track papers (included in the issue following acceptation) reaction and rebuttals (short reactions to publications in JNP followed by an invited rebuttal of the original authors)
• special issues.
