If a patient has severe damage to the prefrontal cortex, which of the following would become difficult for that patient?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The prefrontal cortex is responsible for executive functions such as planning, attention, and organization. Severe damage to this area would make these tasks difficult for the patient. Identifying objects by touch, hearing sounds, and identifying visually complex materials are not primarily controlled by the prefrontal cortex, so they would not necessarily be affected by such damage.
