Impaired recognition memory in patients with lesions limited to the hippocampal formation.
TLDR
Recognition memory impairment is a robust feature of human amnesia, even when damage is limited primarily to the hippocampus, and it is shown that recognition memory is impaired after damage limited to the hippocampal region.
The role of the hippocampus in recognition memory
Preserved visual recognition memory in an amnesic patient with hippocampal lesions
TLDR
The results of this study support the view that recognition memory can be preserved despite severe hippocampal damage and that familiarity is a distinct memory process that can be dissociated from recollection.

Brain activity evidence for recognition without recollection after early hippocampal damage
TLDR
Electrophysiological data on the status of recognition memory in Jon suggest that recollection is more dependent on the hippocampal formation than is familiarity, consistent with the view that the hippocampus plays a special role in episodic memory, for which recollection is so critical.
Sparing of the familiarity component of recognition memory in a patient with hippocampal pathology
Face processing in schizophrenia: Parallels with the effects of amygdala damage
TLDR
Examination of performance of schizophrenic individuals on tasks which previous studies have shown to be sensitive to amygdala damage showed impairment in schizophrenia of some functions thought to rely on the amygdala, however, examination of single cases showed that some individuals with schizophrenia were not impaired on any amygdala-related functions.

Characterizing amnesic patients for neurobehavioral study.
TLDR
The present article considers the suitability of several memory tests and other cognitive tests for the purpose of characterizing amnesic patients and suggests several that are suitable for both severity and selectiveness of memory impairment.
Recognition and recall in amnesics.
TLDR
If recall is disproportionately disrupted by amnesia compared to recognition, recall of normal controls should not differ from the recall of amnesics when recognition scores of these two groups are equated, and normal recall should be superior to amnesic recall even when recognition is equated.
Evidence for the Independence of Recognition and Recency Memory in Amnesic Subjects
Human amnesia and animal models of amnesia: performance of amnesic patients on tests designed for the monkey.
TLDR
These tasks seem to be sensitive to the memory functions that are affected in human amnesia, and they can provide valid measures of memory impairment in studies with monkeys.

Human amnesia and the medial temporal region: enduring memory impairment following a bilateral lesion limited to field CA1 of the hippocampus
TLDR
This is the first reported case of amnesia following a lesion limited to the hippocampus in which extensive neuropsychological and neuropathological analyses have been carried out.
Differentiation of amnesic and demented patients with the wechsler memory scale -revised
TLDR
The findings for the five memory indices demonstrated that the amnesics' General and Delayed Memory Indices were more accurate estimates of their severe anterograde memory problems than was the single MQ from the original WMS.
