Investigated the relation between recognition memory and priming effects by tracking the recovery of recognition memory and word completion ability during the hours after individual treatment given as part of a prescribed course of ECT. Ss for the experiment were 6 patients (mean age 52 yrs) who received bilateral ECT, 6 patients (mean age 51 yrs) who received right unilateral ECT, and 8 controls (mean age 44 yrs). Recognition memory was tested by a 3-alternative forced-choice method. In the word-completion test, the initial letters of previously presented words were given as cues, and Ss were asked to complete each cue to form the 1st word that came to mind. Ss receiving bilateral ECT markedly improved their recognition memory performance 45 min to 9 hr after treatment. Word completion performance was normal at 45 min after treatment and did not change thereafter. Despite exhibiting normal priming effects, Ss prescribed bilateral ECT scored at chance levels on recognition tests given 45 min after treatment. Findings support the view that recognition memory and priming are independent memory processes and suggest that the processes that support priming make little if any contribution to recognition memory. Results are considered in terms of neuropsychological evidence from amnesic patients for the existence of multiple memory systems.(43 ref)(PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)
