The early interpretation of Jacobsen's experiments (1936) was ________.
A) that poor performance in the delayed response task was not due to a problem with perception or movement but that the medial temporal lobe was responsible for "immediate memory"
B) because of the cortical lesions, the subjects had impaired attention
C) that poor performance in the delayed response task was due to a problem with perception or movement
D) that poor performance in the delayed-response task was not due to a problem with perception or movement but that the PFC was responsible for "immediate memory"

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The early interpretation of Jacobsen's experiments, which involved the delayed response task, concluded that the poor performance observed was not because of issues with perception or movement. Instead, it was believed that the prefrontal cortex (PFC) played a crucial role in what was referred to as "immediate memory," indicating the PFC's importance in working memory and the processing of information over short periods.
