Recovery of Memory after Amnesia Induced by Electroconvulsive Shock
Recovery of Memory after Amnesia Induced by Electroconvulsive Shock is a scholarly work, published in 1967 in ''Science''. The main subjects of the publication include cognitive psychology, memory disorder, retrograde amnesia, consolidation, psychology, memory consolidation, medicine, anaesthesia, neuroscience, electroconvulsive therapy, amnesia, -, and avoidance learning. Electroconvulsive shock given to rats immediately after one-trial avoidance learning produced a significant amnesic effect 24 hours later; this amnesia had largely disappeared in further retention tests 48 and 72 hours after treatment.
