Annotated Bibliography
This annotated bibliography is from three scholarly articles. In this annotated bibliography, I analyze the purpose of each article and do the comparison of each of them, in order to examine these articles whether fit into my topic. This annotated bibliography is talking about how hippocampus damage affects declarative memory. Also, I make the citation in front of each analysis. How does damage to hippocampus affect declarative memory: An Annotated Bibliography

There were 15 Participates from the study who were given a test evaluating whether declarative memory contributes to making complex decisions. Five of the participants had amnesia and 10 of the healthy participants. Those participants were assessed with the test of the Iowa Gambling Task (IGT). The hippocampus is necessary for complex decision-making on the IGT, participants who had amnesia was unable to develop the complex decision-making on the Iowa Gambling Task.
Gupta and Duff et al. are science department professors from different Universities and they focus their research on the role of declarative memory in complex decision-making. Their goal in writing this article was to prove the declarative memory is essential for making the complex decision on the Iowa Gambling Task. The authors randomly selected participants from different sex, age, and education to reduce the difference in demographics. The article assessed the Iowa Gambling Task and decision-making, on those who had amnesia fail to develop complex decision-making on the Iowa Gambling Task, it will fit into my literature review by providing evidence of how the impairment of declarative memory effect on amnesia patients. At the same time, this is the only article that mentioned the Iowa Gambling Task. Compared to the generalizations of the other two articles, this article uses the IGT task to introduce the importance of declarative memory on decision making. It also shows that the hippocampus damage leads to the absence of declarative memory.

There are three groups of participants from this study that these participants made up of men and women. Those participants were given a test assessing the effects of the hippocampus and declarative memory on word use. Six of the participants had bilateral hippocampal damage with severe declarative memory impairment, five of the participants had brain-damaged with no memory impairment, and eleven of the healthy participants. In order to collect the data in the study, those participants were assessed with the test of a neutral cue word and asked to produce 12 narratives. Compared to those healthy participants and those who only had brain-damage, participants who had amnesia use the less imageable words when they describe events in memory, even though they could produce the amount of language and the amount of detail in the narrative.
Hilverman and Duff are professors in the Department of Hearing and Speech Sciences, and they focus their research on the functional role of hippocampal-dependent declarative memory in language production. Their goal in writing this article was to determine how the damage of the hippocampus and impairment of declarative memory influence on amnesia patients’ word use. This article assessed word use, language production, and imageable words, on those people who with amnesia use less imageable words. It will contribute to my literature review by providing evidence of the negative effect of impairment of declarative memory in the hippocampus damage. It also the only article that used language production to describe declarative memory. This study has a large sample size than the other two articles.The method section is different from the other two articles, this article divides three groups in the study, which involves every different situation to make the experiment results more detailed and clear. Compared to the generalizations of the other two articles, this article uses word use to introduce the the integrity of hippocampus and the importance of declarative memory. Declarative memory is important to produce imageable words in language production.

Eight participants from this study, who were given a test assessing whether someone could tailor their conversational language to the knowledge in the absence of declarative memory. Four of the participants had bilateral hippocampal damage with severe declarative memory impairment and four of the healthy participants. Those 8 participates were tested in a referential communication task. In order to test whether the declarative memory impairment undermines amnesia patients’ ability to acquire and use the knowledge about what other people know when they communicate with their partner. Like the healthy participants, those who had impairment of declarative memory could acquire their common ground information to share in their partner-specific dialogue.
Yoon et al. are the science department professors in different Universities, and they focus their research on amnesia patients using common ground information to communicate under the declarative memory impairment. Their goal in this study was to test amnesia patients whether learning and using knowledge about what other people do and don’t know under the impairment of declarative memory. This article assessed the common ground and partner-specific dialogue, on those who had declarative memory impairment (amnesia), it will fit into my literature review by providing evidence of how is amnesia patients’ declarative memory work after the damage of the hippocampus and how amnesia patients communicate with people in the absence of declarative memory. Compared to the other two articles, this is the only article that used common ground which is sharing knowledge or opinions. At the same time, the article introduces the positive result of the impairment of declarative memory, and the other articles introduce negative results of declarative memory impairment. Compared to the generalizations of the other two articles, amnesia patients use their common ground to share their knowledge with their partner in the impairment of decorative memory. This study had a small sample size compared to the other articles.
