非语言记忆的结构，作为评估的图形再现测试，最近受到了一些调查人员的质疑。本研究的目的是重新审视这种结构及其与右侧颞叶功能障碍的关系。对来自Bozeman癫痫联盟8个癫痫中心的757名癫痫手术患者进行了图形复制测试。所有的参与者都表现出明确的左（LTL）或右（RTL）颞叶癫痫的证据，在头期和间歇期的脑电图记录中观察到。所有受试者的智商都超过70分，右手偏好，并且通过颈动脉内淀粉样钠测试证实了左半球语言优势。LTL组和RTL组在韦氏记忆量表（WMS）或韦氏记忆量表修正版（WMS- r）的视觉再现子测试和Rey-Osterrieth复杂图形测试（ROCFT）的复制和延迟回忆条件上的得分无显著差异。各中心在WMS和ROCFT评分上观察到显著差异，这可能是管理和/或评分程序差异的结果。在这个大样本中，LTL组和RTL组之间缺乏显著差异，这提出了关于非语言记忆的本质及其与右颞叶功能障碍的关系的问题。（植物学报，1997,3,435-443.）
The construct of nonverbal memory, as assessed by figural reproduction tests, has recently been questioned by a number of investigators. The purpose of this study was to reexamine this construct and its relationship to right temporal lobe dysfunction. Figural reproduction test scores were examined in 757 epilepsy surgery candidates obtained from 8 epilepsy centers participating in the Bozeman Epilepsy Consortium. All participants exhibited unequivocal evidence of left (LTL) or right (RTL) temporal lobe epilepsy observed in ictal and interictal EEG recordings. All subjects also had IQ scores exceeding 70, right-hand preference, and left hemisphere language dominance confirmed by intracarotid sodium amytal testing. Comparisons of LTL and RTL groups showed no significant differences in scores on the Visual Reproduction subtests from the Wechsler Memory Scale (WMS) or Wechsler Memory Scale-Revised (WMS-R) or on the copy and delayed recall conditions of the Rey-Osterrieth Complex Figure Test (ROCFT). Significant differences were observed among centers on WMS and ROCFT scores, which are likely to be a result of variations in administration and/or scoring procedures. The lack of significant differences between LTL and RTL groups in this large sample raise questions about the nature of nonverbal memory and its relationship to right temporal lobe dysfunction.
