“…The latter conclusion was based on rather small differences in savings scores and insufficient data are presented to permit adequate statistical evaluation. However, Flescher (1941), Williams (1950), and Cronholm and Molander (1958) have subsequently confirmed the substance of Zubin and Barrera's assertions. The various investigators using human subjects, although successfully employing ECS to interfere with memory, had not attempted to adequately define the time relations of such interference.…”

This article attempts a synthesis of the range of disorders that have been subsumed under the rubric of retrograde amnesia. At a functional level, it is possible to make distinctions between various forms of retrograde amnesia, including a distinction between episodic amnesia for personally experienced events and semantic retrograde amnesia for components of knowledge, such as those relating to people and events. At an anatomical level, discrete lesions to limbic-diencephalic structures usually result in a limited degree of retrograde amnesia. Marked episodic or marked semantic retrograde amnesia is usually associated with significant involvement of cortical and neocortical structures. Retrograde amnesia is a functionally heterogeneous rather than a unitary phenomenon. Discontinuities and dissociations found in published studies point to the potential fractionation of retrograde amnesia into component disorders, each with its own neural profile.

“…Apart from a few relatively unsystematic studies (e.g. Bachmann et al, 1971; Williams, 1950), no attempts have been made to remind patients of material learned before ECT. The present report describes a study of the effects of reminding or cueing with initial letters of words learned before ECT; this method of testing retention is compared with word recognition.…”

In a study of the retrograde amnesic effect of bilateral ECT, twelve patients were subjects in a repeated measures design. Both verbal and nonverbal materials were used and retention was tested with different methods: Yes‐no recognition, forced‐choice recognition and recall cued by initial letters. The absolute amount of retrograde amnesia was small; there seemed to be no difference between verbal and nonverbal materials, and cueing with initial letters was not found to be an effective method of reducing amnesia.
