Abstract
Two experiments were performed to assess the roles of interference and mediation on Korsakoff patients' rate of nonverbal information loss. In the first, which contrasted the rate of nonverbal information loss following nonverbal distraction with the rate of verbal information loss following verbal distraction, it was discovered that nonverbal information was forgotten more rapidly than verbal information. Furthermore, nonverbal material was forgotten across unfilled retention intervals, while verbal material remained intact. In a second experiment, the patients were given verbal labels to aid their retention of nonverbal information. Since these labels improved nonverbal retention, it was concluded that they had provided the Korsakoff patient with a means for rehearsing the nonverbal information.
