Distractibility after frontal lobe lesions: behavioral and event-related brain potential evidence.
|
DISTRACTIBILITY attributable to the inability to inhibit attending and responding to irrelevant events in the internal and external environment is a prominent symptom of prefrontal lesions (Knight, 1991; Shallice & Burgess, 1991; Stuss, Shallice, Alexander, & Picton, 1995).
