Answer 1

Question 5: Based on the symptomology of an inability to plan and organize (dysexecutive syndrome) in veterans with similar brain damage, it is likely that the frontal lobe is damaged. The frontal lobe is responsible for executive functions, which include planning and organizing.

Question 6: Evidence suggests that nonhuman animals probably have semantic memory but not episodic memory. Semantic memory is the memory of facts and general knowledge, while episodic memory is the memory of personal experiences and events. Nonhuman animals may not have the ability to recall specific events from their past, but they can remember information that is important for survival, such as the location of food sources or the behaviors of predators.
