Résumé

Drawing is a powerful tool to enhance memory in healthy participants and patients with probable dementia. Here, we investigated whether the drawing effect could extend to patient CT, a young woman with severe anterograde amnesia. Following surgery for a midline tumor involving her septum pellucidium and extending down into her fornices bilaterally, CT experienced a severe case of sleep-related amnesia. She can remember information encountered throughout the day, but when waking up in the morning or following a nap she forgets information learned prior to sleep. Here, we tested CT and 21 age-matched controls in a 3-day within-subjects design, during which participants encoded words by either drawing or writing them down. Memory for encoded words was tested in two conditions that each followed a 12-h delay, once after a night of sleep, and once after 12 h of wake. Despite her severe memory impairment, CT showed a drawing effect that was comparable to controls in both sleep and wake conditions. Whereas CT's memory for written words was consistently impaired relative to controls, her memory for drawn words was at the lower control range following a waking delay and above chance following a sleep delay. We suggest that amnesic patients may benefit from the drawing effect due to the recruitment of brain regions outside of the hippocampal system for encoding and consolidation. Furthermore, in control participants, sleep benefited memory for written words, but not for drawn words, suggesting that sleep preferentially consolidates memories that are more dependent on the hippocampal system.
