Abstract
Objective: Accelerated Long-Term Forgetting (ALF), as distinguished from classical amnesia, is characterized by normal acquisition and initial retention over brief intervals (30min), followed by an abnormally rapid rate of forgetting over days or weeks when compared to healthy controls. Evidence of ALF has been found in patients with transient epileptic amnesia and in some patients with temporal lobe epilepsy. ALF has a profound impact on the patients’ everyday lives, yet goes undetected by standard neuropsychological memory tests.
