Hippocampus and spatial memory A case study of Jon. King, J. A., Trinkler, I., Hartley, T., Vargha-Khadem, F., & Burgess, N. (2004). The Hippocampal Role in Spatial Memory and the Familiarity-Recollection Distinction: A Case Study. Neuropsychology. 18(3), [Muriel Delsoin]

Who is Jon? What does he suffer from? He is an man who has developmental amnesia, and suffers from perinatal anoxia. He is an man who has developmental amnesia, and suffers from perinatal anoxia. -perinatal anoxia is lack of oxygen to the brain. His hippocampus is reduced in volume by 50%. He is impaired in episodic, temporal and spatial memory. His hippocampus is reduced in volume by 50%. He is impaired in episodic, temporal and spatial memory.

Jon’s ability to navigate visually was tested using a video game. Duke Nukem (from 3D Realms Entertainment, Dallas, TX) The video game involves moving through a virtual scene, like a town, and shooting enemy forces (aliens). He was a good video game player in general, but his navigation was inaccurate. He was also expected to draw maps in the Speirs, Burgess et al. study and his maps were also inaccurate. - This shows his recollection impairment. - He also could not recognize scenes from the virtual town when such scenes were compared with foils, unlike control subjects who could. - spatial memory impairment.

Jon’s memory deficits : retrieval of episodic events —comparing memory events’ content with memory context of events retrieval of spatial information —comparing memory for object locations from the same view as at presentation with memory from a shifted viewpoint. Episodic memory test within the VR town: participants follow a path and meeting with virtual characters in different places and receiving a different object each time, for a total of 16 objects. Context-dependent memory for each event (the receipt of an object) was tested by presenting 2 of the received objects next to a location and a character and asking which object had been received in that location or from that character, or which had been received first (see Figure 1). Recognition of the familiarity of an object was tested by presenting a received object and a similar looking foil and asking which had previously been received.

Results: Confirming his impaired episodic memory, Jon performed at chance on the context-dependent memory questions but was unimpaired on the object-recognition question (Spiers, Burgess, et al., 2001).

Jon’s spatial memory was investigated: Jon’s spatial memory was investigated: Used virtual reality paradigm (King et al., 2002). Used virtual reality paradigm (King et al., 2002). Jon views an array of placeholders, located in a small town Jon views an array of placeholders, located in a small town square, while virtually looking down from the surrounding square, while virtually looking down from the surrounding rooftops. A series of objects appears on random placeholders, rooftops. A series of objects appears on random placeholders, and then Jon is tested by presenting each object randomly in its original location, along with a number of copies of each in foil locations. and then Jon is tested by presenting each object randomly in its original location, along with a number of copies of each in foil locations. -The task is to identify the one in the correct original location. Between presentation and testing, Jon either remains in the original position or is moved instantly to a new location. The difficulty of a condition can be varied with the number of objects and foils. -The task is to identify the one in the correct original location. Between presentation and testing, Jon either remains in the original position or is moved instantly to a new location. The difficulty of a condition can be varied with the number of objects and foils. -Jon using two foil objects at random locations. -Jon using two foil objects at random locations. Results: Results: -showed good performance in the same-view condition for short list -showed good performance in the same-view condition for short list lengths, with performance reducing from near ceiling to 50% for lengths, with performance reducing from near ceiling to 50% for List Length 10 (chance performance would be 33%). In the shifted- List Length 10 (chance performance would be 33%). In the shifted- view condition, he performed at chance for all list lengths view condition, he performed at chance for all list lengths greater than 1. greater than 1.

Jon’s relative impairment compared to control participants in the shifted-view versus same view conditions was not clear, so researchers tried to reduce control participants’ performance overall, by testing them with five randomly placed foil objects. Now, Jon’s differential deficit at shorter list lengths (4 and 7) became clear: - He performed significantly worse than controls in the shifted-view condition and performed better than them in the same-view condition. Jon’s impaired performance from a shifted view indicates impaired allocentric memory. By contrast, his relatively preserved same view performance on short lists could be due to familiarity-based recognition using preserved egocentric representations. The size of the differential deficit on short lists makes the test a potentially powerful indicator of hippocampal damage, given Jon’s generally spared recognition memory. It was concluded that: Jon’s deficits in spatial memory (from new viewpoints) show an inability to store object locations in an allocentric framework. A close relationship functioning of episodic and spatial memory exists, in which the hippocampus seems to be involved. We learn that the hippocampus really is associated with and influences spatial memory.

Question: “Do the processes required by the allocentric system relate to the hippocampal contribution to context- dependent recognition and episodic recollection?” “Do the processes required by the allocentric system relate to the hippocampal contribution to context- dependent recognition and episodic recollection?”
