In recent experiments, this condition has been deliberately induced by administering benzodiazapenes in order to study contextual cuing in perceptual identification tasks.
In recent experiments, this condition has been deliberately induced by administering benzodiazapenes in order to study contextual cuing in perceptual identification tasks. Studies of people with this condition have provided strong evidence that relatively long periods of time are necessary for the process of initial consolidation. A longitudinal study by Carole Peterson found that the "childhood" type of this condition roughly lasts until the age of ten. This disorder is the major symptom of Korsakoff's syndrome, and is caused by damage to the medial temporal lobe. Early research about this condition centered on H. M., a patient who developed it after his hippocampus was surgically removed. Its anterograde type prevents people from encoding new information. For 10 points, name this psychological disorder in which people are unable to retrieve or form memories.
