Department of Psychology, University of Colorado at Colorado Springs, Colorado Springs, Colorado 80933, USA
J Int Neuropsychol Soc 13:704-9. 2007..In addition, patients with LPC lesions exhibited significantly elevated error rates on the Number-Letter Switching condition. Results suggest that LPC lesions can lead to impaired cognitive set-shifting on a visual-motor sequencing task...

J Clin Exp Neuropsychol 30:236-44. 2008..While depression was related to current IADL, it did not independently predict future IADL. Results suggest that executive dysfunction,specifically cognitive initiation, is a key predictor of future IADL...
D-KEFS Tower Test performance in patients with lateral prefrontal cortex lesions: the importance of error monitoringBrian P Yochim
