我们报告的数据表明，自我指涉编码促进记忆性能的严重失忆症患者也患有语义问题的语义阐述的影响的情况下。在第1部分中，患者GA在记忆任务的编码阶段（实验1中的自我所有权决策和实验2中的自我评价决策）接受训练，将项目与自我或熟悉的其他项目相关联。记忆测试表明，相对于两个实验中的参照物都是另一个人的情况，自我参照具有一致的优势。自我参照优势的模式与健康对照组相似。在第2部分中，我们表明，GA显示出最小的影响，语义阐述对记忆的项目，他语义分类，与项目的物理大小的决定相比，相比之下，健康的控制表现出增强的记忆性能后，语义相对于物理编码。结果表明，自我参照编码，而不是语义加工，提高记忆健忘症。自我参照处理可能提供一个独特的支架，以帮助改善健忘症病例的学习。
We report data demonstrating that self-referential encoding facilitates memory performance in the absence of effects of semantic elaboration in a severely amnesic patient also suffering semantic problems. In Part 1, the patient, GA, was trained to associate items with the self or a familiar other during the encoding phase of a memory task (self-ownership decisions in Experiment 1 and self-evaluation decisions in Experiment 2). Tests of memory showed a consistent self-reference advantage, relative to a condition where the reference was another person in both experiments. The pattern of the self-reference advantage was similar to that in healthy controls. In Part 2 we demonstrate that GA showed minimal effects of semantic elaboration on memory for items he semantically classified, compared with items subject to physical size decisions; in contrast, healthy controls demonstrated enhanced memory performance after semantic relative to physical encoding. The results indicate that self-referential encoding, not semantic elaboration, improves memory in amnesia. Self-referential processing may provide a unique scaffold to help improve learning in amnesic cases.
