Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Patients who have damage to the prefrontal cortex show difficulty with controlled processing, which involves the ability to concentrate and focus attention, plan, organize, and make decisions. These patients may have trouble with tasks that require these abilities, such as problem-solving or complex decision-making. They may also have difficulty with working memory, which is important for holding and manipulating information temporarily. The other choices, automatic processing and walking, are not typically associated with damage to the prefrontal cortex, and the choice "everything" is too broad and general to be an accurate answer.
