Control Functions of the Frontal Lobes. Modularity of the Central-Supervisory System?
Abstract
Lesions of the prefrontal cortex result in a wide variety of neuropsychological disorders. Despite recent advances, the executive processes and their functional architecture remain poorly specified. This study assessed control processes operating in novel, conflicting and combined tasks in patients with lesion of the prefrontal or posterior cortices. Experiments used two-choice reaction time tests with similar perceptuo-motor and decision processes. It mainly showed (1) impaired short term memory in posterior patients, and (2) impairment of response inhibition and tasks combination in some frontal patients. Selective deficits with double dissociations were evidenced on novel, conflicting and combined tasks. This study provides additional evidence for the prominent role of the frontal lobes in control processes. The demonstration of selective deficits of specific control processes suggests that executive functions depend on multiple separable control processes, and that their operations can be specified in cognitive terms.

Multiple research strands back the idea that executive functions are fractionated.
“Several lines of research, however, support the fractionation of executive functions.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
