The Wilson＇s disease patients exhibited deficits in explicit memory tasks, such as figure recall and understanding memory. Moreover, the Wilson＇s disease patients exhibited deficits in implicit memory tasks, including significantly prolonged response times. These findings indicate that Wilson＇s disease patients have explicit and implicit partial memory impairments.展开更多

文摘In the present study, we compared explicit memory performance, using the Wechsler Memory Scale and implicit memory performance, using the Nissen software version of the serial reaction time task, in patients with Wilson＇s disease to normal controls. The Wilson＇s disease patients exhibited deficits in explicit memory tasks, such as figure recall and understanding memory. Moreover, the Wilson＇s disease patients exhibited deficits in implicit memory tasks, including significantly prolonged response times. These findings indicate that Wilson＇s disease patients have explicit and implicit partial memory impairments.
