Cued recall performance of target words by controls (black bars, n = 12) and E.P. (open bars) in response to the first two words of each three-word sentence. The score for E.P. is the average of two tests (T5 and T6). Data are for 29 of 48 studied sentences that were given to both E.P. and controls (control data, n = 12; from Hamann and Squire, 1995). In the Standard Test, given to E.P. after 24 sessions of study and to controls after 1 session of study, two-word sentence frames were presented (e.g., “Venom caused ???”), and subjects responded with the target word (fever). In the Synonym Test for E.P., the second word of each sentence frame was replaced by a synonym (e.g., “Venom induced ???”). For the controls, the same synonyms were used for 16 of the sentence frames. For the remaining 13 sentence frames, both words of the sentence frame were replaced by synonyms (e.g., “Venom caused ???” was replaced by “Poison induced ???”). Error bars show SEM.
