Abstract

The existence or questionability of "repressed memories" can be discussed as being a matter of definition. It seems, however, far-fetched to consider all "lost" memories as caused by encoding problems, brain damage, forgetfulness, failure to disclose events, and so on. We argue that dissociative amnesia (DA) (or "psychogenic amnesia," or "functional amnesia," or, as we favor to call it, "mnestic block syndrome") is caused by psychic alterations, but ultimately they can be traced to changes in the physiology of the brain, as we are of the opinion that all memory processes-positive or negative-alter brain functions, sometimes more permanently, sometimes transiently. We have proven this idea using functional imaging techniques, in particular fluoro-deoxy-d-glucose positron emission tomography. Having investigated dozens of patients with severe and long-lasting DA conditions, we believe it to be disrespectful to many (but not to all) of the affected patients to question their disease condition, which can be proven to be not caused by feigning, malingering, or direct brain damage.

失忆症:掩盖下的回忆
关于 "压抑记忆 "的存在与否,可以讨论定义问题。然而,将所有 "丢失 "的记忆都视为由编码问题、脑损伤、遗忘、未披露事件等造成的,似乎有些牵强。我们认为,解离性遗忘症(DA)(或 "精神性遗忘症",或 "功能性遗忘症",或我们喜欢称之为 "记忆阻滞综合症")是由精神改变引起的,但最终可以追溯到大脑生理的变化,因为我们认为,所有的记忆过程--无论是积极的还是消极的--都会改变大脑功能,有时是比较持久的,有时是短暂的。我们利用功能成像技术,特别是氟脱氧葡萄糖正电子发射断层扫描,证明了这一观点。在对数十名患有严重和持久性痴呆症的患者进行调查后,我们认为,质疑他们的病情是对许多(但不是所有)患者的不尊重,因为可以证明他们的病情不是由假装、装病或直接脑损伤造成的。

期刊介绍: Topics in Cognitive Science (topiCS) is an innovative new journal that covers all areas of cognitive science including cognitive modeling, cognitive neuroscience, cognitive anthropology, and cognitive science and philosophy. topiCS aims to provide a forum for: -New communities of researchers- New controversies in established areas- Debates and commentaries- Reflections and integration The publication features multiple scholarly papers dedicated to a single topic. Some of these topics will appear together in one issue, but others may appear across several issues or develop into a regular feature. Controversies or debates started in one issue may be followed up by commentaries in a later issue, etc. However, the format and origin of the topics will vary greatly.
