Nm. Hunkin et al., FOCAL RETROGRADE-AMNESIA FOLLOWING CLOSED-HEAD INJURY - A CASE-STUDY AND THEORETICAL ACCOUNT, Neuropsychologia, 33(4), 1995, pp. 509-523
In this paper we present data from a closed head injury patient who pr
esents a striking example of what Kapur (Cortex 29, 217-234, 1993) has
termed ''focal retrograde amnesia''. The patient, D.H., is unable to
recollect any autobiographical incidents from the pre-morbid period, a
lthough he is able to provide personal and public information from thi
s period. The data are discussed in relation to other reported instanc
es of focal retrograde amnesia and a preliminary theoretical account i
s offered.
