Abstract
Research on discursive cohesion and coherence has focused on patient groups with diffuse damage and widespread cognitive impairment (e.g.,TBI, dementia). Consequently, attempts to attribute discourse deficits to a particular cognitive domain has proven difficult. The current study capitalizes on a rare patient group with selective and severe anterograde hippocampal amnesia to investigate the contribution of declarative memory to discourse cohesion and coherence across a range of discourse genres. This research contributes to our understanding of the interdependent relationship between language and memory and promises to inform clinical decision making for individuals with complex cognitive-communication disorders following TBI and dementia.
