Question

Danita recently was in a car accident and afterward developed impairment in making ethical decisions and formulating values. She MOST likely suffered damage to the _____ lobe.

Answer 1

Answer:

Frontal lobe

Explanation:

The frontal lobe, which is part of the 4 lobes of the brain, is the largest of the lobes. It is responsible for the control of important cognitive skills involving judgement, problem solving, personality characteristics and movement. This part which is referred to as the control center of  the brain helps an individual in making choices between good and bad.

A damage to the frontal lobe would most likely result in impairment in judging between wrong or right, and such individual suffering from such damage would often struggle in regulating their behavior.
