The psychophysical method of magnitude estimation was used to assess the olfactory, gustatory, visual and auditory capacities of alcoholic Korsakoff patients. The Korsakoffs were most impaired in their scaling of olfactory and gustatory stimuli but did evidence some mild impairments on 2 of the 3 visual tasks. Right-hemisphere lesion patients were impaired on all 3 visual tasks and on an auditory task, but they scaled olfactory and gustatory stimuli in a normal manner. The Korsakoffs difficulties with the chemical senses cannot be attributed to the complexity of the tests.
