Question

Physiological studies indicate that damage to the area of the brain known as the _____ can disrupt behaviors that depend on working memory.a. prefrontal cortexb. amygdalac. hippocampusd. occipital lobe

Answer 1

Prefrontal cortex

Explanation:

The prefrontal cortex is the part of the brain that exactly lies behind the eye and the forehead. This is the part that determines our goals, values, and personality of a person. If we have a long term goal the prefrontal cortex help to maker our concentration on that goal, not to be affected by the presence of other competing goals.

If a person gets damaged by their prefrontal cortex, it affects their personality, goals, and values. The prefrontal cortex plays a great role in sense of self and o understand others. It helps us in decision making and reasoning.

Thus the disruption in the area of the prefrontal cortex person damages the sense self and others.
