Abstract

Temporal lesions produced a visual deficit, especially on form discrimination. Parietal lesions produced no deficits if symptoms of ataxia were not allowed to interfere with test performance. Control frontal lesions gave transient impairment on visual delayed responses in 1 animal; none in a 2nd. It is suggested that visual or tactual impairments after temporal or parietal lesions reflect the existence of sensory deficits rather than retentive or gnostic disturbances. (18 ref.)
