Preserved access and processing of social knowledge in a patient with acquired sociopathy due to ventromedial frontal damage
@article{Saver1991PreservedAA, title={Preserved access and processing of social knowledge in a patient with acquired sociopathy due to ventromedial frontal damage}, author={J. Saver and A. Damasio}, journal={Neuropsychologia}, year={1991}, volume={29}, pages={1241-1249} }
Acquired damage to ventromedial frontal cortices produces abnormalities of decision-making that are especially marked in the realm of social conduct. The pathogenesis of this disorder remains unexplained. One possible mechanism posits that patients with lesions of ventromedial frontal cortices, while retaining the ability to recognize the entities and events that compose social situations, lose the ability to generate an appropriate array of response options to social stimuli, and to… CONTINUE READING
