Théodule-Armand Ribot, (1839-1916), French psychologist whose endeavour to account for memory loss as a symptom of progressive brain disease, iterated in his Les Maladies de la mémoire
(1881; Diseases of Memory), constitutes the most influential early attempt to analyze abnormalities of memory in terms of physiology. He paid particular attention to the physical element of mental life, ignoring all spiritual or nonmaterial factors in man.
