| Annotation | Patients with a previous episode of transient global amnesia (TGA) were examined to assess the functioning of objective memory, metamemory capacities, residual level of retrograde amnesia, and levels of depression. Patients with residual retrograde amnesia scored significantly lower than non-amnesiac ones on indices of short-term and long-term memory, and for self-rating of memory functioning through comparison with memory functioning of peers. Age, time interval from TGA attack and TGA duration did not prove to influence memory and metamemory scores. Retrograde amnesia and depression were rather substantially associated. Depression level showed a positive correlation with short-term memory functioning in non-amnesiacs. The different pattern and strength of the relationships between metamemory components and objective memory dimensions observed in amnesiacs and non-amnesiacs indicate that metamemory evaluations are more closely related to memory functions in amnesiacs than in non-amnesiacs. |
