title: Focal retrograde amnesia following closed head injury: a case study and theoretical account.
abstract: In this paper we present data from a closed head injury patient who presents a striking example of what Kapur (Cortex 29, 217-234, 1993) has termed " focal retrograde amnesia". The patient, D.H., is unable to recollect any autobiographical incidents from the pre-morbid period, although he is able to provide personal and public information from this period. The data are discussed in relation to other reported instances of focal retrograde amnesia and a preliminary theoretical account is offered.
