title = "Long-term retention of computer learning by patients with memory disorders",
abstract = "Previous research has demonstrated that patients with memory disorders resulting from closed-head injury can acquire the complex knowledge and skills necessary for the use of a microcomputer. The present paper extends the generality of those findings by showing that (1) amnesic patients with other etiologies could similarly learn how to operate and (2) the knowledge and skills acquired were retained over intervals of up to 9 months.",

note = "Funding Information: The present article examines further two aspects of the acquisition of complex computer knowledge in memory-disordered patients. First. in order to evaluate the generality of our previous results, we investigated whether the successful computer learning that we observed in CHI patients is also found in patients with memory disorders of other etiologies. Second, we explored further the retention of complex knowledge over long delays.
