The effect of long-term lithium carbonate treatment on parameters of immediate, short-, and long-term memory was examined in a group of bipolar affectively ill patients. The lithium treatment group recalled significantly fewer words across trials on a verbal learning task than a group of bipolar affectively ill patients receiving no medication. The ability to consistently recall material for which prior learning had been demonstrated was also decreased and accounted for most of the variance in total number of words recalled. Possible mechanisms of effect are discussed.
