The relation between attention available at encoding and automatic and consciously controlled aspects of memory was investigated using the process-dissociation procedure. Twenty-four severely closed-head injured (CHI) participants (> 1 year postinjury) and 24 matched controls studied word lists in full- and divided-attention conditions. Recall cued with word stems was tested. In contrast to consciously controlled memory, the CHI group did not perform more poorly than the controls in estimates of automatic memory. Furthermore, for both groups, the divided-attention manipulation reduced the controlled estimates of memory, whereas automatic influences remained invariant. These results suggest that automatic memory processes may remain partially immune to the deleterious effects of severe CHI or show recovery by 1 year postinjury. They also indicate that automatic memory processes do not require additional attentional resources following severe CHI.
