The use of novel measures to detect Accelerated Long-term forgetting in people with epilepsy: The Crimes Test and Four Doors Test.

Most patients with memory disorders appear to forget at a relatively normal rate. Hence testing retention beyond the initial test session becomes unnecessary. However, it is now well established that a subsample of patients, most notably people with epilepsy, can show substantially increased forgetting rates even when acquisition rate is normal, raising the need for new tests focused on the assessment of long-term forgetting.
