Clustering by alcoholic Korsakoff patients.
Abstract
Twelve alcoholic Korsakoff patients and 12 alcoholic controls recalled two clusterable
lists, and two nonclusterable lists. Korsakoff patients recalled more from the clusterable
than the nonclusterable lists. Detailed analysis of the Korsakoff results indicate
that while some forms of semantic organization are impaired, the ability to use associative
structure remains intact. © 1981.
