A functional dissociation of the spatial and object visual systems was produced by selective interference in intact young adults.

As predicted by current notions of dissociable visual systems in the primate, spatial memory was selectively impaired by a movement discrimination spatial task, whereas object memory was selectively impaired by a color discrimination object task.
