Abstract
Discrepancies in neurological function in monkeys and men may arise due to inappropriate animal tests such as those involved with cross-modal perception and possible hemispheric specialization in the monkey. They may also derive from inadequate or inappropriate methods of testing human subjects. Attention is focused on memory disorders associated with medial temporal lobe lesions and blindness associated with occipital lesions in man; human deficits are more severe and qualitatively different from those of the monkey. The discrepancies may be resolved if human subjects are tested by methods that depend upon forced-choice or identification procedures that are more closely related to those used with animal subjects.
