Pattern span: a tool for unwelding visuo-spatial memory.

abstract：:We investigated the ability of patients with frontal-lobe lesions to benefit from advance information in a simple reaction-time task. The task involved pressing a button in response to the appearance of a peripheral target (visual angle of 11.5 degrees). A cue, presented in the centre of the screen, preceded the targe...
