Popis: This study addresses the effect of strong routine associations (capture errors) in hindering the control of on-line serial or sequencing tasks. Patients with focal frontal lobe lesions were significantly inferior to normal control subjects and patients with posterior brain lesions, when conditions that may lead to capture errors were present. The results suggest that the primary dysfunction exhibited by patients with frontal lobe lesions on capture error tasks may lie not in the disengagement from the invalid associations but in focusing attention to alternative strategies of response.
