Abstract
The role of premotor cortex (PMC) in conditional motor learning tasks in man was investigated. Patients with PMC lesions had to learn to associate 6 different visual, tactile or auditory stimuli with 6 different arm movements which were previously rehearsed (Task A). A comparative task involved an association between the same set of sensory stimuli and 6 spatial locations (Task B). Patients with PMC lesions were only impaired when they had to recall a movement from memory on the basis of a sensory cue (Task A), but not for an association involving spatial location (Task B). This indicates that the PMC plays a role in sensory conditional motor learning.
