Implicit memory formation using the word stem completion task during anesthesia in children.

Aims: To determine whether there is evidence of implicit memory formation during pediatric anesthesia using the word stem completion task.

Background: In adults, there is mixed evidence for implicit memory formation during anesthesia; however, there is no evidence in children. Implicit memory in adults has been detected using the word stem completion task.

Implicit memory formation during routine anesthesia in children: a double-masked randomized controlled trial.

Background: Implicit memory cannot be consciously recalled but may be revealed by changes in behavior. There is evidence for implicit memory formation during anesthesia in adults, but several studies in children have found no evidence for implicit memory. This may be due to insensitive testing.
