Results and Conclusion
In similar pictures, the control group got them all right and so did people with hippocampus damage only, MTL+ patients did worse and achieved 90% or below correct answers, HM got 95% - 100% on this section
-
-
Overall, MTL = 100%, Controls = 99%, MTL+ = 78%
-
Where the hippocampus-only group did better than the control group, Schmolck said this was because they were younger, despite them being matched on this

Procedure
-
the tests
-similar pictures: the ppts were given 6 pictures sharing a theme and asked to point out the one that the experimenter named in order to test for confusion
-
-category sorting: ppts were given all 48 pictures and asked to sort them into man-made or living categories
-
-
the ppts were taped and 14 researchers went over the tapes to look for reliability and checked for grammar and syntax errors in the way they talked as this also indicates struggles with semantic memory
Aim
-
If ppts with damaged medial temporal lobes (MTL) and hippocampus would underperform in memory tests because of this.
