Cats trained to discriminate between the speech sounds [u] and [i] do not retain and are unable to relearn this discrimination after bilateral ablation of the ventral insular-temporal cortex. In control animals, retention of this ability is not affected by bilateral removal of primary auditory receiving cortex.
经过训练能够区分语音 [u] 和 [i] 的猫,在双侧切除岛叶颞叶腹侧皮质后,无法保留这种区分能力,也不能重新学会这种区分。在对照动物中,双侧切除初级听觉接收皮质不会影响这种能力的保留。
