Ribot's Law
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ribot's Law of retrograde amnesia was hypothesized in 1881 by T. Ribot. It states that there is a time-gradient in retrograde amnesia. Recent memories are more likely to be lost than the more remote memories. Not all patients suffering from retrograde amnesia report the symptoms of Ribot's Law.
‘‘The dissolution of memory is inversely related to the recency of the event.’’
