Difficulties in Estimating Temporal Relationships Between Events May Stem from Damage

Question

Difficulties in estimating temporal relationships between events may stem from damage to
A) the prefrontal cortex.
B) the general interpretive area.
C) Broca's area.
D) Wernicke's area.
E) the postcentral gyrus.

Accepted Answer

The prefrontal cortex is associated with executive functioning, including working memory and planning, which are necessary for determining the temporal relationships between events. Damage to this area can lead to difficulty in sequencing events in time.
