Abstract
â¶ Newly developed Historic Events Test (HET) demands knowledge about public events of the past 60 years. â¶ Performance of patients with mild cognitive impairment and Alzheimer's disease was impaired in the HET. â¶ Memory performance of all time segments was uniformly affected by this kind of retrograde amnesia. â¶ In the same patients a temporal gradient for autobiographical memory was previously found. â¶ Retrieval frequency might be crucial for the independence of a memory from the hippocampus.
