Conclusion:

• VENTRAL stream processes identity information

• DORSAL stream processes spatial information

Logical basis for this inference:

1) Focal parietal lesion --> selective deficit, dissociation: “where” impaired, “what” intact

2) Focal temporal lesion --> selective deficit, dissociation: “what” impaired, “where” intact
