A single case study of a patient (FK) with utilization disorder following bilateral damage to medial frontal and anterior temporal cortices is reported. FK had to localize a search target following presentation of an earlier verbal or visual cue. Search was strongly affected by semantic/visual associations between the cue and search items. Although FK was unable to name the hue of an incongruent Stroop word, his attention was drawn to a color in the display matching the hue of the cue word. FK's ability to inhibit a response activated by the cueing of attention was impaired. There is dissociation between top-down attention cueing and response inhibition.
本文报告了一例双侧内侧额叶和颞叶前部皮质受损后出现使用障碍的患者（FK）的个案研究。FK需要在呈现早期言语或视觉提示后定位搜索目标。搜索受到提示与搜索项目之间语义/视觉关联的强烈影响。尽管FK无法说出不一致的斯特鲁普词的颜色，但他的注意力被吸引到显示器中与提示词颜色匹配的颜色上。FK抑制由注意力提示激活的反应的能力受损。自上而下的注意力提示和反应抑制之间存在分离。
