The neuropsychological understanding of confabulation has recently been enriched by the finding that confabulating patients present positive emotional biases in their false recollections. The exact mechanisms of this motivational phenomenon have been heuristically linked to the frontal lobe impairment accompanying confabulation. The present study aims at providing direct support for this claim. A patient with damage to the prefrontal cortex is examined and his performance is contrasted with two confabulating patients, a patient with non-frontal neurological damage and twenty matched controls on a number of tests of emotional processing. 2014-10-02T13:21:08Z 2014-10-02T13:21:08Z 2004 Master Thesis Masters MA http://hdl.handle.net/11427/7991 eng application/pdf Department of Psychology Faculty of Humanities University of Cape Town |
