Acquisition of post-morbid vocabulary and semantic facts in the absence of episodic memory.
TLDR
The case of R.S., a 49-year-old amnesic man, is reported, who is found to have acquired information about famous people, public events and new vocabulary during the 13-year period since he becameAmnesic, despite having no measurable anterograde episodic memory function and a profound loss of autobiographical memory.
Episodic, semantic and procedural memory in a case of amnesia at an early age
Dissociation between Specific Personal Episodes and other Aspects of Remote Memory in a Patient with Hippocampal Amnesia
TLDR
Although Y.K. showed relatively good performance in recalling public events, personal semantic memory, and general personal events, he was not able to recall specific personal episodes over his entire life span, which suggests he lacks “richness” in his remote memory, which is probably necessary to maintain one's own identity.
Episodic and Semantic Memory Disorders
TLDR
This chapter provides a framework for characterizing the distinction between “episodic” and “semantic” memory, and discusses the clinical features and assessment of disordered function in each of these two domains.
Loss of remote memory: a cognitive neuropsychological perspective
Remote memory in a patient with amnesia due to hypoxia.
It has been suggested that amnesic patients suffer a selective loss of episodic memory while semantic memory remains well preserved. To assess the validity of this idea we studied remote memory in an…
Semantic and Autobiographical Memory: Neuropsychological Dissociations?
Recent single-case studies have attempted to identify the cognitive processes contributing to autobiographical amnesia (and more generally to retrograde amnesia) by contrasting preserved and impaired…
Successful Recollection of Remote Autobiographical Memories by Amnesic Patients with Medial Temporal Lobe Lesions
Persistent memory impairment following transient global amnesia.
TLDR
Findings suggest that following TGA there is persistent, albeit mild, hippocampal-diencephalic dysfunction which appears to involve left-sided structures preferentially and probably results from the attack, although a pre-existent deficit cannot be excluded.
I Cannot Remember, But I Know my Past Events: Remembering and Knowing in a Patient With Amnesic Syndrome
TLDR
It is concluded that Y.K.'s memories on autobiographical incident task were not based on episodic memory but rather on semantic memory, and his semantic memory made him recall information as fact rather than episode.

The temporal pattern of retrograde amnesia in Korsakoff's disease
TLDR
Patients with Korsakoff's disease do very poorly in remembering recent events but improve to normal levels when memories become more remote, which confirms classical clinical observation and raises some important points about the mechanism of memory.

TLDR
The results suggest that the neural substrate of memory gradually changes with the passage of time after learning and that resistance to amnesic treatment can continue to develop for years.
