Three cases that would have met our criteria for visual memory deficit if they could have drawn a object that was present are listed first. CHI, closed-head injury; CVA, cerebrovascular accident; occ., occipital; par, parietal; temp, temporal; MT, possible medial temporal damage; IT, inferotemporal damage; copy, patient can copy drawings or draw from a model; draw, patient can draw an object from memory; RA > AA, is the retrograde amnesia reported as more severe than the anterograde amnesia, ?, case study provides no information; ∼, deficit is marginal or report is equivocal.
