“…In humans, explicit memory impairments have been shown to occur for both verbal Copyright 1995 Psychonomic Society, Inc.and nonverbal materials, presented up to I h prior to treatment, and tested up to 24 h after treatment. This amnesia exhibits a temporal gradient, whereby events closer to treatment are more greatly affected than more remote events-suggesting a disruption of the neural processes responsible for the consolidation of memory traces (MeGaugh & Herz, 1972;Squire, Cohen, & Nadel, 1984; but see Miller & Marlin, 1979, for a different view).…”

and JOHN MISIASZEK University ofArizona CoUege ofMedicine, Tucson, ArizonaPriming and recognition were tested in patients receiving electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) for treatment of a psychiatric disorder. Patients studied a list of words just prior to ECT and then received memory tests for those words after recovering from ECT. Stem-cued recall was poor (retrograde amnesia), but priming on word-stem completion was preserved. Recognition was poor on a "high-criterion" test requiring a retrieval-based judgment but partially intact on a "low-criterion" test requiring a familiarity-based judgment. The results support the familiarity-retrieval distinction in two-component theories of recognition and suggest that signal detection measures of sensitivity are not wholly independent ofresponse criteria.

“…Such models have been proposed to account for the amnesic properties of the posttrial administration of electroconvulsive shock (ECS; Miller & Marlin, 1977;Miller & Springer, 1973;Thompson & Grossman, 1972;Thompson & Neely, 1970) and the posttrial induction of hypothermia (Hinderliter, Webster, & Riccio, 1975;Mactutus & Riccio, 1978;Riccio, Mactutus, Hinderliter, & McCutcheon, 1979).…”

Posttrial injections of strychnine sulfate: Facilitation of consolidation or retrieval?

The existing literature demonstrating that animals given strychnine sulfate shortly after training display enhanced retention 24 h later can be interpreted in terms of either consolidation or retrieval processes. A test between these two interpretations failed to support the consolidation interpretation, but did support the retrieval interpretation. It was concluded that (a)a retrieval model provides an adequate interpretation of the facilitation of retention resulting from posttrial injections of strychnine, and (b) an unambiguous demonstration that strychnine enhances processes of consolidation has yet to be offered.

“…However, recently observed phenomena have rendered this view untenable (for a review, see Miller & Marlin, 1979). Given the now well established reversibility of at least part, if not all, RA (e.g., Miller & Springer, 1972), RA is frequently referred to as a form of retrieval failure (Spear, 1978).…”

ECS-induced retrograde amnesia is not due to increased sensitivity to sources of ordinary forgetting

A series of experiments was conducted with rats to determine if the amount of potentially interfering information presented to a rat immediately following training and electroconvulsive shock (ECS) influenced the magnitude of ECS-induced amnesia. Using one-trial passive avoidance, multitrial active avoidance, one-trial active approach, and appetitive delayed alternation tasks, ECS intensity thresholds were established for each task (Experiments 1, 3, 5, and 7, respectively). Then some subjects were exposed to task-irrelevant high environmental stimulation (of low affective value) immediately following ECS of an intensity that was normally just below the amnestic threshold. Simultaneously, other subjects were exposed to sensory isolation immediately following ECS of an intensity that was normally just above the amnestic threshold (Experiments 2,4,6, and 7, respectively). The posttraining environment in the absence of ECS had no effect on passive avoidance, a nonsignificant tendency towards an effect on active avoidance and active approach, and a strong effect on delayed alternation. When the posttraining environment did have an effect, high stimulation impaired retention and sensory isolation enhanced retention. In no case was there evidence that retroactive stimulus interference was more than algebraically additive with respect to ECS-induced amnesia.
