Answer to Question 1

Answer: Neuroimaging studies indicate that dorsolateral PFC is involved with both executive attention and switching executive attention tasks. The anterior PFC and the premotor cortex are also involved in executive attention. However, the inferior parietal lobe and extrastriate visual cortex are involved with switching attention. Therefore, areas outside of the frontal lobe appear to be important for executive processing. As a result, executive processing cannot be mediated by the PFC alone.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: Accuracy on the incompatible trials of the Stroop task is significantly impaired for people with damage to the frontal lobe (prefrontal cortex). Presumably, this deficit is due to an inability to engage executive attention.
