本研究表明了简易精神状态检查表(MMSE)在检测遗忘综合征方面的局限性。尽管神经心理学测试显示所有11名接受测试的遗忘症患者都存在严重的记忆缺陷,但其中6名患者的MMSE总分高于24分的标准临界值。此外,只有6名患者完全未能完成MMSE的回忆项目,还有3名患者在该项目上表现完美。详细介绍了一名脑炎后患者的结果。她很快完成了连续减7的任务,并且随后回忆起了所有3个需要记忆的单词。她在其他记忆测试中的表现证实,要引出她的记忆障碍,需要比MMSE所提供的更长的保持间隔。
The present study demonstrates the limitation of the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) for detecting the amnestic syndrome. Although neuropsychological testing yielded severe memory deficits in all of the 11 amnesic patients tested, six of the patients obtained total MMSE scores above the standard cutoff score of 24. Further, only six patients completely failed the MMSE recall item, and three patients performed errorlessly on this item. Results from one postencephalitic patient are presented in detail. She performed the serial sevens task very quickly and subsequently recalled all three of the to-be-remembered words. Her performance on other memory tests confirmed that a longer retention interval than that provided by the MMSE is necessary to elicit her memory disorder.
