title: Neuropsychological Generation of Source Amnesia: An Episodic Memory Disorder of the Frontal Brain creator: Lakhan, Shaheen Emmanuel subject: Neuropsychology subject: Neuropsychiatry subject: Cognitive Psychology subject: Neuroanatomy subject: Psychophysiology description: Source amnesia is an explicit memory (declarative) disorder, particularly episodic, where source or contextual information concerning facts is severely distorted and/or unable to be recalled. This paper reviews the literature on source amnesia, including memory distrust syndrome, and its accepted correlation with the medial diencephalic system and the temporal lobes, and the suggested linkage between the frontal lobes, including special interest with the prefrontal cortex. Posthypnotic induction was the first presentation of source amnesia identified in the literature. The Wisconsin Cart Sorting Test (WCST), Positron Emission Topography (PET), Phonemic Verbal Fluency Test, Stroop Color Word Interference Test, and explicit and implicit memory tests are defined and linked to empirical research on amnesiacs. publisher: Scientific Journals International contributor: Chichilnisky, Graciela contributor: Asl, Abolhassan Astaneh contributor: Bull, Leona contributor: Anders, Robert L. contributor: Oppong, Christine contributor: Rivers, Patrick contributor: Sun, Jianjun contributor: Price, Larry R. contributor: Flores, Henry contributor: Lakhan, Shaheen Emmanuel contributor: Naterer, Greg Frank contributor: Rivera, Mario A contributor: Stuffle, Gene contributor: Rao, Allam Appa contributor: Barusch, Amanda contributor: Zaman, Musharraf contributor: Zain, Azni contributor: Efird, Jimmy Thomas contributor: Lou, Jennie Q. contributor: Nikolova, Lolita contributor: Ahmadi, Goodarz contributor: Claussen, Dane S. contributor: Hay, Iain contributor: Guillen, George contributor: McNaught, Carmel contributor: Wu, Junru date: 2006-11 type: Journal (On-line/Unpaginated) type: PeerReviewed format: application/pdf identifier: http://cogprints.org/5267/1/Article.pdf identifier: Lakhan, Shaheen Emmanuel (2006) Neuropsychological Generation of Source Amnesia: An Episodic Memory Disorder of the Frontal Brain.
