Selective impairment of topographical memory: a single case study

A M Whiteley et al. J Neurol Neurosurg Psychiatry. 1978 Jun.

Abstract

We describe a patient who developed topographical memory loss after a closed head injury. His symptoms and the psychological test results indicate a selective deficit of topographical memory, his perceptual and spatial skills being relatively unimpaired.
