Left temporal lobe brain damage pattern on the WAIS, addendum.
This study added Digit Span to an index investigated in a previous study. An index score, in which the WAIS Vocabulary and Information were more impaired than Similarities and Digit Span, indicated left temporal lobe damage. Using subjects with damage restricted to a single lobe of the brain, the index was found to be significantly more related to the left temporal lobe than to any other part of the brain.
