Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Damage to the front part of the right temporal lobe is more associated with difficulties in recognizing faces (prosopagnosia) rather than category-specific deficits related to animals or objects. Brandon's difficulty is specific to animals, suggesting a category-specific deficit rather than a problem associated with the right temporal lobe.
