“…Indeed, the fact that the lorazepam drug induces a transient amnesia following a single intake has been repeatedly shown Bishop and Curran, 1998;Curran et al, 1993;Danion, 1994;Danion et al, 1989Danion et al, , 1992File et al, 1992;Legrand et al, 1995;Pomp茅ia et al, 1996;Vidailhet et al, 1996;Weingartner et al, 1993). During the amnesic episode, results have shown that episodic memory is specifically impaired (File et al, 1992;Fluck et al, 1998;Green et al, 1996;Duka et al, 1996;Curran 1991Curran , 1999Blin et al, 2001) and that it is independent of the benzodiazepine-induced sedative effects (Mintzer and Griffiths, 2003a;Huron et al, 2002). Interestingly, participants do not seem to be aware of their memory deficits (Curran et al, 1987).…”
