Categorization and retrieval after selective inferotemporal lesions in monkeys.

Journal article

Two variations of a colour matching to sample task, with and without delay, were used to explore the deficits produced by bilateral foveal prestriate, posterior inferotemporal or anterior inferotemporal cortex lesions in monkeys. In the first task, 7 colours served as samples, but matching had to be done from only 4 alternative stimuli (7s x 4a); this task taxes the animal's ability to categorize information. In the second variation of matching to sample only 4 colours served as samples, but ...
