Elizabeth Warrington studied human memory through selective patterns of preservation and impairment. With Tim Shallice, she investigated the patient published as K.F., whose auditory-verbal short-term memory was selectively impaired. Comparing that profile with other human memory measures constrains models of the relationship between temporary retention and longer-term learning, rather than reducing the case to one overall human memory score.
