Abstract
â¶ The aim of the study was to investigate the theory of mind and decision making in patients with different subregions of prefrontal cortex lesions. â¶ Patients with VMPC lesions performed worse on the theory of mind and decision making. â¶ Patients with DLPC lesions showed impairments of the theory of mind but performed at control levels on the decision making tasks. â¶ The findings imply that VMPC and DLPC play different roles in the processes of ToM and decision making.
