The Subject's memory abilities were tested using experimental tasks which assessed the recall of autobiographical memories, public events, and the acquisition of newly learned material. The Subject's amnesia was temporally limited, affecting only the last 2 to 3 decades of his life. When recalling an event he was able to evoke both its content and place, while he could not provide any information about people nor the time of its occurrence.
Results suggest that knowledge of an episode is specified across multiple representations.
