Document Summary

How you determine where your current position is relative to your next position. How you get that information comes from self-generated cues. The semicircular canals within the ear: can give velocity and acceleration information. Vestibular loss is often associated with hippocampal atrophy. Blindfolded patients in darkened room: to eliminate landmarks. The task was that participants led along two sides of a triangle and had to return to their place of origin. Had to draw the angle of the turn on the route, and the distance of their route. Controls made it back to point of origin fairly accurately. Results: no impairment on paper and pencil spatial tests. No difference between left and right temporal lobectomy. The conclusion is that anterior temporal lobe structures are not involved in labeling body orientation, mental rotation, or labeling turns. In homing vector and route reproduction tasks the right temporal lobectomy group did more poorly in.
