Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Lesions to the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex have been shown to impair performance on self-ordering tasks in monkeys. This region is known to be involved in working memory processes and executive function, which are essential for monitoring and manipulating information. Lesions to other prefrontal regions (B, C, and D) may also produce deficits in different aspects of cognitive functioning, but not specifically self-ordering tasks.
