Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The delayed nonmatching-to-sample test is commonly used to evaluate medial temporal lobe function in animals and is also used in human studies. H.M. had similar deficits on this test due to his bilateral medial temporal lobe resection. Therefore, monkeys with similar lesions showing deficits on this test suggest that the medial temporal lobe is important for this type of memory function.
