Visual working memory deficits following right brain damage

Visual working memory (VWM) involves the encoding and maintenance of visual information over time, with the requirement that object features be accurately bound to spatial locations. We and others have shown that damage to the right hemisphere leads to impaired spatial working memory. Here, we test the notion that right brain damage (RBD) may have consequences for domain general VWM. We had eight RBD patients and a group of healthy control...
