Descrizione:

Item-location binding in working memory: is it hippocampus-dependent?
- Case study of a patient (Jon) with developmental damage to both hippocampi
- Problems with amnesia (notably for prospective memory) and spatial awareness
- Deficit found through recall but not recognition
- No evidence of any binding impairment in single probe recognition or sequence reconstruction, with Jon performing very accurately in all conditions.
- fits with Baddeley et al's (2010/11) findings that short term memory is not hippocampus dependent
- Strong performance from Jon in WM measures might be due to have him much more frequent exposure to stimulus materials compared to control subjects
- Jon was not able to form and retain robust longer-lasting representations of this information over the course of a few minutes
