Using the Tower of Hanoï puzzle, Butters, et al. in 1985 illustrated the difficulties in learning the procedure and questioned the suitability of this task for assessment of the cognitive procedural memory in Korsakoff's syndrome. Our objective, in the light of these criticisms, was to show preservation of cognitive procedure capacities with the Tower of Hanoï for a man (P.F.) who was suffering from alcoholic Korsakoff's syndrome. For this procedural task, some aids helped to compensate in part for the difficulties with declarative memory and with working memory. In this condition, P.F. was able to learn the cognitive procedure. This study suggests that cognitive procedure memory may be preserved in some patients suffering from Korsakoff's syndrome and that this may be shown when a suitable task is used. The result makes it possible to discuss the interaction between declarative and procedural knowledge in the solving of the Tower of Hanoï.
