Title: Comparison of implicit and explicit memory during conscious sedation with four sedative-hypnotic agents
Conference Title: 3rd International Symposium on Memory and Awareness
Abstract: given the difficulty of eliciting implicit-memory effects after general anaesthesia, we reasoned that the probability of detecting subtle performance facilitation would be higher during a state of sedation rather than anaesthesia / selected a word-stem completion task to demonstrate the priming effect of prior exposure to stimulus words investigate the relationship between implicit- and explicit-memory mechanisms over a range of serum concentrations / our hypothesis was that evidence of implicit memory would be found at drug concentrations that ablate explicit recall and recognition / 57 healthy volunteers (age range 21 to 45) were randomized, in a double-blind fashion, to receive [midazolam, propofol, thiopentone, fentanyl or saline placebo] (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)
