Abstract
Four experiments were designed to determine the extent of Korsakoff patients' ability to encode semantically meaningful verbal material. The first experiment demonstrated that these patients are aided by category cues following a one min retention interval. The remaining experiments, which also employed cueing techniques demonstrated that Korsakoff patients, with instructions, can encode on acoustic, associative, and semantic levels. When left to their own preferences, however, the Korsakoff patients rely upon acoustic and associative encoding. This failure to employ semantic encoding strategies spontaneously may underlie their overall inability to retain verbal material.
