Description:
SummaryThe effect of the number of presentations on implicit memory for words was studied in anaesthetised patients. During standardised, balanced anaesthesia, 81 surgical patients were presented with less common specimens of familiar word categories. For each of three word categories the number of word presentations varied between the patients (0 (control), 5, or 30 presentations). Postoperatively, repetition priming was tested by asking patients to generate exemplars for each of the word categories. No implicit memory for the words presented during anaesthesia was found and consequently no effect of number of word presentations could be demonstrated. It is suggested that this finding, which contradicts previous results, may be caused by the relatively low familiarity of the words used.
