Perceptual sets in Korsakoff's psychosis.

Abstract
"On the suggestion that the cognitive disorder characteristic of Korsakoff''s psychosis may be, at least in part, attributed to the patients'' incapacity to adopt and maintain attitudes appropriate to the situation or task, a sample of 21 was tested for the effect different types of set would have on their perception of auditory stimuli presented near the threshold level of intelligibility.... The findings [are presented and discussed] in relation to previous studies of attitudinal factors in Korsakoff psychosis and to Bartlett''s theory of remembering.".
