Abstract:"Objective: Deficits in strategic encoding and retrieval aspects of episodic memory have been observed in HIV-1 seropositive individuals, but source memory has not been evaluated in this population. Source memory, which refers to recall of information regarding the context in which a memory was formed, relies upon prefrontostriatal systems and strategic processes and is dissociable from the content of the memory (i.e., item memory), which is more dependent upon medial temporal networks and automatic processes.
