Abstract
After preliminary training on visual discriminations and on other visual function tests, three macaques received bilateral ablations of the ventral temporal cortex, bilateral removal of the hippocampal formation in three others, and two received control operations reproducing the cortical damage incidental to the experimental operations. The greatest decrement in visual discrimination occurred in the temporal lobe group, the amount of retardation being a function of the difficulty of the discriminations. Impairment of visual discrimination was not correlated with performance in the other tasks.(PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)
