[A child showing memory disorders].
We report a girl with memory disorders. Her memory remained disturbed regardless of input or output modalities. She could recognize items and recall them randomly, but she could not recall them in the correct order. She showed memory impairment with regard to temporal context. We could clearly demonstrate this by cognitive psychological and neuropsychological tests and by analyzing the results of ordinary intelligence tests by input and output modalities. These results suggest that subjects who show memory disorders should undergo further resting to clarify the qualitative aspects of these disorders and the possibility that learning disabilities caused by memory disorders should be considered a specific type of learning disability.
