Abstract

Rats with parietal cortex lesions were tested for both item and order memory for a list of spatial events in a probe recognition procedure. Rats with parietal cortex lesions were impaired for all events within the item memory task but had good memory for the early events within the order memory task. These data suggest a dissociation of function between item and order memory for parietal cortex damaged animals. In conjunction with previous findings with rats with medial prefrontal cortex lesions, these data suggest that item and order memory can be coded and represented independently.
