Abstract
Memory deficits are common post stroke. Most episodic memory tests consist of a learning phase, immediate recall and a 30-min delayed recall test. Recent research suggests a proportion of stroke patients exhibit accelerated long-term forgetting after a longer delay. Based on a word-list learning test in stroke patients and controls, we demonstrate that stroke patients recalled fewer words after five learning trials, and on 30-min and 1-week delayed recall tests, caused by shallower learning curves and higher percentages of forgetting.
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.
