Note. The Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale-Revised (WAIS-R) and the Wechsler Memory-Scale Revised (WMS-R) yield mean scores of 100 in the normal population, with a SD of 15. The WMS-R does not provide numerical scores for individuals who score < 50. KE, LJ, EP, GP, and GW were given the WAIS-III rather than the WAIS-R. RB was not given the WMS-R. Age indicates the age of the patient when given the News Events Test. Neurohistological information is available for the first five patients listed. Asterisk indicates a lesion limited to the CA1 field of the hippocampus. H, bilateral damage to the hippocampus with minimal damage to adjacent cortex; MTL, bilateral damage to the hippocampus and parahippocampal gyrus; IQ, intelligence quotient.
