Three rhesus monkeys with transection of the fornix were compared with 3 operated control monkeys in 4 memory tasks. They were tested repeatedly at each task until a stable level of performance was achieved. Ss with transection of the fornix were severely impaired in the 3 tasks that tested recognition memory and unimpaired in a test of pure associative memory which was very similar in all but the essential respects to one of the recognition tasks. It is suggested that damage to the hippocampal system in monkeys causes an anterograde amnesia comparable to that observed in human patients with similar lesions and consisting in a specific deficit of recognition memory.(PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2020 APA, all rights reserved)
