Attenuating anterograde amnesia in Korsakoff's Psychosis.

Attempted to attenuate the severe anterograde amnesia of a 52-yr-old male patient with Korsakoff's Psychosis through the imposition of cues to assist memory. Categorized word list recall was dramatically increased only when cues at both storage and retrieval were employed. Information necessary to independent functioning on the ward was also learned by providing storage and retrieval cues. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved)
