Abstract

We set out to test the hypothesis that patients with frontal damage are specifically disabled in carrying out tasks requiring a high level of controlled attention. A group of patients with frontal lesions and another group of patients with retrorolandic lesions were tested for selective attention on a computerized task designed to produce a conflict situation between automatic and controlled processes. Frontal patients proved to be significantly more prone to errors of commission (false alarms) than retrorolandic patients.
