Abstract
In ablation-behavior experiments performed in adult cats, a double dissociation was demonstrated between ventral posterior suprasylvian cortex (vPS) and temporo-insular cortex (TI) lesions on complex visual and auditory tasks. Lesions of the vPS cortex resulted in deficits at visual pattern discrimination, but not at a difficult auditory discrimination. By contrast, TI lesions resulted in profound deficits at discriminating complex sounds, but not at discriminating visual patterns. This pattern of dissociation of deficits in cats parallels the dissociation of deficits after inferior temporal versus superior temporal lesions in monkeys and humans.
