TL;DR
Korsakoff subjects displayed a more cautious response bias to patterns than did alcoholics, andParametric signal detection measures (d', Cx) were considered appropriate.
Abstract
The contribution of response bias to the amnesia of Korsakoff's syndrome was studied. Ten Korsakoff patients and ten alcoholic controls were asked for confidence ratings in a recognition memory task. Parametric signal detection measures (d', Cx) were considered appropriate. Korsakoff subjects displayed a more cautious response bias to patterns than did alcoholics.

Age and education, skull fracture, and hematoma were generally unrelated to any of the measures, whereas coma duration was significantly related to most measures of mnemonic efficiency.

Recognition memory was studied in severely head injured patients, using two measures (d' and β) based on Signal Detection Theory, which enable independent estimates to be made of the patient's memory capacity, and the degree of caution, or willingness to guess.

Patients with Korsakoff's syndrome, dementia, alcoholism, right and left temporal lobectomy, and normal subjects were compared on verbal learning and picture recognition memory tasks.

It is suggested that, when the theory is applied in an appropriate manner, severe head injury is shown to produce an impairment of recognition sensitivity with no concurrent change in response bias.
