Patient KE has a dense retrograde amnesia for her entire life up to the age of 42 years, when she suffered an infectious brain lesion involving the hippocampus bilaterally and the right frontal lobe including deep white matter areas. Results of Autobiographic Memory Interview (AMI) suggested intact semantic memory with deficient autobiographic memory. Further testing with forced-choice trueffalse judgements indicated the presence of implicit memory for both personal and media-based information from the amnesic interval, and event-related potentials showed differential reaction to sentence probes reflecting the truth value of the test sentences. Retrieval failure or inattention may be considered as explanatory mechanisms.
