Disclaimer: English Kinda Thing

The sole purpose of the "English Kinda Thing" is to document my attempts to correct my own mistakes in standard English usage and to share the resources I find. In no way do I attempt to teach nobody English through these blurbs--just as I intend not to teach nobody to be a neurotic and psychotic handicap in Ratology Reloaded or Down with Meds! :-)

Baldo, Shimamura, Delis, Kramer, & Kaplan (2001) Verbal and design fluency in patients with frontal lobe lesions

Baldo, Shimamura, Delis, Kramer, & Kaplan (2001) Verbal and design fluency in patients with frontal lobe lesions. Journal of the International Neuropsychological Society : JINS, 7(5), 586-96.

Participants: "Patients’ lesions were mostly confined to ventral and dorsolateral prefrontal cortex"

Problem retrieving information from LTM in verbal fluency:  the frontal lobe patients produced fewer correct
responses than control participants (see Figure 4)



Perservative error in design fluency: In terms of perseverative errors, there was no statistical difference between patients with frontal lesions and control participants (F(1,20)= 1.56, p= .22], although numerically patients made proportionally more errors (see Table 2).
