Epileptic patients with left or right temporal lobectomies were compared with normal subjects on a verbal memory task involving recall and recognition of categorized and uncategorized word lists. The left temporal group recalled significantly fewer words than the normal control subjects, and recognition performance was also poorer. The right temporal group did not differ significantly from the normal controls on recognition, although differences neared significance on recall. Categorization improved performance in all the groups. The left temporal patients improved if words were presented in order of category membership, but recalled less if category membership was randomized over order of presentation.
对接受左颞叶或右颞叶切除术的癫痫患者与正常受试者进行了一项言语记忆任务比较，该任务涉及对分类和未分类单词列表的回忆和识别。左颞叶组回忆的单词明显少于正常对照组，识别表现也较差。右颞叶组在识别方面与正常对照组无显著差异，尽管在回忆方面差异接近显著水平。分类提高了所有组的表现。如果按照类别成员顺序呈现单词，左颞叶患者的表现会有所改善，但如果类别成员顺序在呈现顺序上随机化，则回忆的单词会减少。
