Tests of facial recognition and spatial learning were administered to presurgical patients with unilateral temporal lobe EEG foci. Right temporal lobe patients obtained lower facial recognition scores than left temporal lobe patients. The groups performed equally on the spatial learning test. A factor analysis revealed two independent factors: a general visuospatial factor and a more specific facial identification factor. The findings provide support for the existence of two dissociable visual processing systems. Memory impairments associated with right temporal lobe dysfunction may be characterized as an impairment in a ventral visual processing system responsible for facial memory and pattern recognition.
对面部识别和空间学习进行了测试，测试对象为术前患有单侧颞叶脑电图病灶的患者。右侧颞叶患者的面部识别得分低于左侧颞叶患者。两组在空间学习测试中的表现相当。因子分析揭示了两个独立的因子：一个一般的视觉空间因子和一个更具体的面部识别因子。这些发现为两个可分离的视觉处理系统的存在提供了支持。与右侧颞叶功能障碍相关的记忆障碍可能表现为负责面部记忆和模式识别的腹侧视觉处理系统的损伤。
