Electroconvulsive Treatment and Short Term Memory
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 29 January 2018
Extract
Much of the recent work on electroconvulsive shock has been concerned with retrograde amnesia. These studies have generally produced results consistent with Ribot's Law (1885), which states that the susceptibility of a memory to impairment in retrograde amnesia bears an inverse relationship to the age of the trace (Chorover and Schiller, 1965; Kesner and D'Andrae, 1971).
