Abstract

The purpose of the present study was to investigate the neuroanatomical correlates of prospective remembering. Individuals who had undergone a left anterior temporal lobectomy (LATL) and patients who had been operated on for treatment of an anterior communicating artery (ACoA) aneurysm were compared on measures of prospective remembering, retrospective memory, and executive function. A series of analyses of variance revealed the LATL group to be impaired on prospective and retrospective memory while the ACoA aneurysm group was impaired on prospective remembering alone. The results of the current study (1) shed some light on the neuroanatomical substrate of prospective remembering, and, (2) demonstrate the clinical utility of prospective remembering testing in evaluating recovery from brain injury.
