Priming effects in amnesia: Evidence for a dissociable memory function
TLDR
The phenomenon of preserved priming effects in amnesia is reviewed, relationships between priming and other memory functions are described, and what this spared memory function tells us about the organization of memory is commented on.Abstract:
Amnesic patients are impaired on tests of recall and recognition memory, yet they exhibit intact priming effects. That is, their performance can be facilitated or biased by recently encountered information. This paper reviews the phenomenon of preserved priming effects in amnesia, describes relationships between priming and other memory functions, and comments on what this spared memory function tells us about the organization of memory.read more

TL;DR: The role of the hippocampus is considered, which is needed temporarily to bind together distributed sites in neocortex that together represent a whole memory.

The Nature of Recollection and Familiarity: A Review of 30 Years of Research
TL;DR: For instance, the authors found that recall is more sensitive than familiarity to response speeding, division of attention, generation, semantic encoding, the effects of aging, and the amnestic effects of benzodiazepines, while familiarity is less sensitive to shifts in response criterion, fluency manipulations, forgetting over short retention intervals, and some perceptual manipulations.

Implicit memory: History and current status.
TL;DR: A survey of implicit memory and its relation to explicit memory can be found in this paper, where the authors present an historical survey of observations concerning implicit memory, reviews the findings of contemporary experimental research, and delineates the strengths and weaknesses of alternative theoretical accounts of implicit memories.

Priming and human memory systems
Endel Tulving,Daniel L. Schacter +1 more
TL;DR: Evidence is converging for the proposition that priming is an expression of a perceptual representation system that operates at a pre-semantic level; it emerges early in development, and access to it lacks the kind of flexibility characteristic of other cognitive memory systems.

Loss of recent memory after bilateral hippocampal lesions.
TL;DR: The results of these studies point to the importance of the hippocampal complex for normal memory function in patients who had undergone similar, but less radical, bilateral medial temporallobe resections, and as a warning to others of the risk to memory involved in bilateral surgical lesions of the hippocampusal region.
