Rhesus monkeys with bilateral lesions of either dorsal or ventral prefrontal cortex were tested on delayed matching for colours. The animals with dorsal frontal lesions performed as well after the operation as before, whereas those with ventral frontal lesions were severely impaired even at the shortest delay. However, the animals with dorsal frontal lesions failed to learn delayed spatial alternation. The results support the view that the monkeys with dorsal frontal lesions have an impairment in memory for spatial cues or their own movements in space.
对双侧背侧或腹侧前额叶皮质受损的恒河猴进行了颜色延迟匹配测试。背侧额叶受损的动物术后表现与术前一样好，而腹侧额叶受损的动物即使在最短延迟时也严重受损。然而，背侧额叶受损的动物未能学会延迟空间交替。这些结果支持了这样一种观点，即背侧额叶受损的猴子在空间线索记忆或自身在空间中的运动方面存在缺陷。
