Kent Cochrane (August 5, 1951 – March 27, 2014 [1]), also known as Patient K.C., was a widely studied Canadian memory disorder patient who has been used as a case study in over 20 neuropsychology papers over the span of 25 years.

Patient K.C. has been investigated by researchers for over 20 years after intracranial trauma from a motorcycle accident resulted in a unique profile of amnesia. K.C. suffered from severe anterograde amnesia, in both verbal and non-verbal domains.

2005年1月1日 · The critical data came from the two patients in this study who were classified as “severely amnesic:” K.C. and a patient with amnesia attributable to a ruptured aneurysm of the anterior communicating artery.

Here, we document for the first time the full extent of K.C.'s brain damage using MRI-based quantitative measurements. We then review the many investigations with K.C. that have contributed to our understanding not only of episodic and semantic memory but also to the development of other aspects of memory theory.

2020年3月16日 · Tulving gained insight into the critical role of ANC in human cognition, and specifically in memory functions, following close encounters with an amnestic patient KC (originally referred to as NN and later identified as Kent Cochrane) who suffered a closed head injury as a result of a motorcycle accident (Gao et al., 2020; Rosenbaum et al., 2005).

Kent Cochrane, known in the scientific literature by the initials KC, has a special status in the archives of memory research. He had been investigated extensively for nearly 30 years since a motorcycle accident left him with widespread brain damage that included large bilateral hippocampal lesions, resulting in a sharp dissociation between ...

Patient KC (born 1951) is a widely studied Canadian memory disorder patient who has been used as a case study in over 20 neuropsychology papers over the span of the past 25 years. In 1981, KC was involved in a motorcycle accident that left him with severe anterograde amnesia, as well as temporally graded retrograde amnesia.
