What is Behavioral Markers for Self- and Other-attribution of Memory: a Study in Patients with Temporal Lobe Epilepsy and Healthy Volunteers about?

Objecti6es: The correlation between clinical measures of memory and subjectively reported memory is often poor. Regarding this we investigated in patients with temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) whether there is evidence that persons mistake other cognitive performances for memory due to subjective memory theories. Methods: a neuropsychological test battery comprising measures of attention, verbal/figural memory and other visual or language related functions was applied in patients with left (L-TLE, n= 24) or right temporal lobe epilepsy (R-TLE, n= 21) and healthy volunteers (n= 20). In addition, subjective self-and other-reported memories were assessed by the subjective memory questionnaire (SMQ). Results: subjective measures as well as objective measures indicate significant cognitive impairment in TLE and in L-TLE in particular. Self-reports and other-reports are interrelated but only self-reported memory correlates significantly with objective memory performance. Regression analysis indicates that self-reported memory is best predicted by word fluency followed by verbal memory and vocabulary, and other-reported memory is best predicted by word fluency, vocabulary, confrontation namin
