Abstract

A functional dissociation of the spatial and object visual systems was produced by selective interference in intact young adults. Subjects were instructed to remember the location of a dot in a spatial memory test, and the form of an object memory test. As predicted by current notions of dissociable visual systems in the primate, spatial memory was selectively impaired by a movement discrimination spatial task, whereas object memory was selectively impaired by a color discrimination object task.
