  • Title: Content memory and temporal order memory for performed activities after severe closed-head injury.
    Author: Schmitter-Edgecombe M, Wright MJ.
    Journal: J Clin Exp Neuropsychol; 2003 Oct; 25(7):933-48. PubMed ID: 13680441.
    Abstract:
    Thirty severe closed-head injured (CHI) participants (more than 1 year postinjury) and 30 matched controls completed eight different cognitive activities. Participants' free recall and recognition of the activities provided a measure of content memory. Temporal order memory was assessed with a reconstruction task. CHI participants recalled and recognized fewer activities than did controls. However, the CHI and control groups did not differ in temporal order memory. For both groups, recognition memory was not correlated with temporal order memory. These results demonstrate intact temporal order memory for performed activities in a severe CHI population, and support the notion of separate processing of content memory and order information. Issues related to automaticity and the roles of the frontal lobes in temporal order memory are also discussed.
