D)opaque sensory deficits

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Frontal lobe amnesia is associated with deficits in executive functions, such as source monitoring, which is the ability to distinguish between internal and external sources of information. Patients with frontal lobe amnesia may have difficulty remembering where they learned certain information or may attribute it to the wrong source. Deficits in lexical memory (A) refer to word retrieval and recognition, which is typically associated with damage to the temporal lobe. Reduplicative paramnesia (B) is a rare condition where patients believe that a place or location has been duplicated or exists in two different locations. This is usually associated with damage to the parietal lobe or hippocampus rather than the frontal lobe. Opaque sensory deficits (D) refer to deficits in the ability to perceive and interpret sensory information, such as visual or auditory stimuli. This is not typically associated with frontal lobe amnesia.
