The effect of periarcuate lesions in the monkey on the performance of symmetrically and asymmetrically reinforced visual and auditory go, no- go tasks
M Petrides
Monkeys with lesions restricted to the periarcuate region of the frontal
cortex were impaired on go, no-go tasks in which, depending on the stimulus
present on any given trial, they were rewarded either for pushing a
manipulandum or for withholding this response for a given period of time.
By contrast, these animals were able to learn at a normal rate go, no-go
tasks in which they were rewarded if they responded in the presence of a
"positive" stimulus, but not in the presence of a "negative" stimulus. In
the latter situation, responding in the presence of the "negative" stimulus
was extinguished through non- reward, whereas the tasks on which
impairments were demonstrated required solution on the basis of a
conditional rule: If stimulus A, respond, and if stimulus B, withhold
responding, to receive reward. Because the 2 experimental situations were
identical in every respect except for the one critical difference in the
testing procedure, the present set of experiments provides a powerful
demonstration of the involvement of the periarcuate cortex in conditional
learning with exteroceptive stimuli.
