The autobiographical memory interview: A new assessment of autobiographical and personal semantic memory in amnesic patients

Abstract: This paper describes a new technique for assessing "autobiographical" and "personal semantic" memory in amnesic patients and healthy controls. It provides evidence of the reliability and validity of the procedure, and reports an age-related temporal gradient in amnesic patients. The results are considered in terms of the severity, the rate of onset, and the duration of the amnesia; and a preliminary analysis is given of the findings in different diagnostic groups. The findings indicate that autobiographical an… Show more

“…Here, no gradient could be established within the NVT, though one was found in episodic retrograde amnesia. The inconsistent findings are in line with the literature, as gradients are sometimes found in patients with Alzheimer's disease (Beatty & Salmon, 1991;Beatty et al, 1988;Brown, 2002;Kopelman et al, 1989;Moscovitch, 1982), and sometimes not (Leplow et al, 1997;Thompson et al, 2002;Wilson et al, 1981). It should be noted that the periods tested in the NVT all fall between the 'recent' period on the AMI and the other two periods.…”

“…This law results in a temporal gradient, referred to as the Ribot gradient, in which patients show great deficits on test items measuring memory for recent memories, and smaller ones on items measuring remote memories. Such a Ribot gradient has also been found in patients with Alzheimer's disease, although it tends to be shallower than that in other groups and is not found consistently (Beatty et al, 1988;Brown, 2002;Deweer et al, 2001;Kopelman et al, 1989).…”
