Abstract
Twelve alcoholic Korsakoff patients, their 12 alcoholic controls and 27 institutionalized schizophrenics and their 19 controls recalled 2 stories. The clinical populations recalled approximately half as much as their controls, yet recalled the same parts of the stories as their controls. For both groups the ability to process simple prose does not seem to be severely impaired when what is recalled rather than how much is recalled is measured.This publication has 15 references indexed in Scilit:
