Memory for spatial and temporal order in aphasics and right hemisphere damaged patients.
Sets of five photographs per item were presented successively in five vertically arranged frames to 53 aphasics, 27 right hemisphere damaged (RHD) patients and 18 normal subjects. Following the presentation of the five slides subjects were given a spatial and a temporal recognition task. In the spatial task subjects had to indicate which of two pictures of a probe had been nearer to the top of the vertically arranged set of frames. In the temporal task they had to indicate which of the two pictures of the probe had been presented earlier. Aphasics made significantly more errors than RHD and normals in both the spatial and the temporal task, while RHD were significantly impaired in comparison to the normal controls only in the spatial task.
