Abstract
Rhesus monkeys with lesions of visual cortex were tested for retention of visual pattern discriminations after extensive interpolated visual interference. Animals with partial removal of prestriate area V2 showed perfect retention. Animals with inferotemporal lesions showed poor retention, as measured both by the conventional savings score, and by the number of errors made in the first 10 trials of each retention test. Inferotemporal lesions affect not only speed of relearning visual discriminations, but also the amount forgotten after retroactive visual interference.
