Right and left temporal lobectomy patients, matched in age and intelligence, made more errors in odor recall than a control group. Patients with right temporal lobe excisions recalled significantly fewer odors correctly than patients with left temporal lobe excisions. Olfactory memory scores were not related to other memory deficits associated with left or right temporal lobe dysfunction or to intelligence or lesion size. However, in patients with right temporal lobectomy, percent of odors recalled correctly correlated positively with a general memory index. The findings presented are consistent with previous reports that the right temporal lobe is more involved with nonverbal memory than the left temporal lobe.
年龄和智力相匹配的右颞叶切除术和左颞叶切除术患者，在气味回忆方面比对照组犯的错误更多。接受右颞叶切除术的患者正确回忆起的气味明显少于接受左颞叶切除术的患者。嗅觉记忆分数与与左或右颞叶功能障碍相关的其他记忆缺陷、智力或病变大小无关。然而，在接受右颞叶切除术的患者中，正确回忆起的气味百分比与一般记忆指数呈正相关。所呈现的研究结果与之前的报告一致，即右颞叶比左颞叶更多地参与非言语记忆。
