In relatively pure cases of amnesia, such as those observed with restricted damage to limbic structures, severe memory deficits occur in the absence of corresponding intellectual deficits; in other cases, such as those observed with head injury or dementing illnesses, memory disorders of varying severity frequently occur in conjunction with cognitive and intellectual deficits. One feature that is characteristic of virtually all memory-impaired patients, however, is a reduction or loss of the ability to live an independent life. Patients with memory impairments require direction and supervision by others in many of their daily activities. At the Unit for Memory Disorders, we have begun research designed to explore the possibilities of helping such people in their day-to-day living. Our basic approach has been shaped by the assumption that a good deal of the responsibility for directing and * This research was supported by a Special Research Program Grant from the Connaught Fund, University of Toronto, and by the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada Grant U0361 to D.L.S.
