AN AMNESIC PATIENT WITH RIGHT CEREBRAL DYSPLASIA: PRIMING INDEPENDENT OF RIGHT NEOCORTEX
右侧脑发育不全遗忘症患者的启动效应与右侧皮层的分离

Two experiments were conducted with two perceptual priming tasks (Chinese character rootcompletion, Chinese character identification) and two semantic priming tasks (Chinese chunkfree-association, Chinese character preference) on one amnesic patient with right cerebral dysplasia(WMS-CR=46, WISC-CR IQ=56) to explore if right neocortex impairment had any effect on perceptualpriming or semantic priming. it was found that the patient performed almost equally or even better thanthe two normal control groups did on the four tasks. The results suggested that priming (perceptual orsemantic priming) was independent of human right neocortex.
