Abstract
Recent cases of ‘proper names anomia’ have been interpreted as arising from a categoryspecific recall deficit that is mediated either by the effects of ‘uniqueness’, or ‘meaningfulness’. However, an alternative account is suggested by the report of a patient whose difficulties in naming familiar people arise from a selective learning impairment. The current case study presents data that are inconsistent with a learning interpretation of difficulties in naming people. We conclude that a dissociation exists between selective deficits affecting the learning and recall of people's names.
