Recollection Impairment

In the article “Different patterns of recollection impairment in confabulation reveal different disorders of consciousness: A multiple case study” they studied three different patients with confabulation affecting the way the patients remember and their conscious. Confabulation affected all three patients in different ways. In one patient confabulation affected the way they remembered their personal past, present, and future. In the second confabulation affected impersonal knowledge and the third patient was affected in both personal and impersonal knowledge of only past information. It was stated that the results of the research conducted supported the idea that processes that are involved in recollection have underlying disorders of consciousness.
