Document Summary
Subjects are asked to learn that each hand posture corresponds with one of nine different colors. Would take a little bit of time with regular patients. They also have poor temporal memory (related to working memory and all the things we need; must have temporal tagging because it is important) 25 doors with each door has food once a day. Strategy for opening only doors that have not had food yet. When you lesion frontal lobe, they randomly open doors (doors they"ve already opened) They lose what doors and how to open. Recency tests: series of cards with 2 stimuli. Once in a while, a card asking which of the two stimuli was seen most recently. You need to access which one was seen before. In a lot of tasks, but do things in order. Need to remember what was done and what wasn"t done. 2 main categories of personality change due to frontal lobe lesions.
