Abstract

En 中文
This report describes a person who confabulated following an anterior communicating artery aneurysm. His confabulation was limited to one very circumscribed area of his life and remained stable for twelve weeks, eventually improving with rehabilitation. It is argued that a content-specific confabulation of this nature challenges current theories of confabulation, and an integrative explanation is given based on previous findings by Burgess and Shallice (1996b) of the mechanisms of autobiographical recollection in healthy people.
