  • Title: Further characterization of the executive memory impairment following frontal lobe lesions.
    Author: Parkin AJ, Yeomans J, Bindschaedler C.
    Journal: Brain Cogn; 1994 Sep; 26(1):23-42. PubMed ID: 7986491.
    Abstract:
    In this article we describe a 41-year-old man who, following an operation to repair a ruptured anterior communicating artery aneurysm, manifested the "hallmark" features of a dysexecutive memory impairment. Of particular note was the patient's apparently normal level of recognition memory but impaired recall on tasks matched for difficulty in control subjects. However, further testing revealed that the patient's recognition memory was not normal under all circumstances. Implications of these data for the interpretation and further investigation of the dysexecutive deficit are discussed.
