A monkey is taught that food is associated with a stimulus card that has a star on it. After training, the animal

receives a lesion to the lateral prefrontal cortex. The monkey's memory for the food-stimulus card association

is then tested by presenting the animal with the two stimulus cards diagrammed here. How will the monkey

now respond?

a.

The monkey will remember the correct response and choose stimulus card 1 to earn a food

reward.

b.

The memory trace left by the training period will be disrupted by the surgery, and the

monkey will randomly select among the stimulus cards.

c.

The monkey will no longer be able to retrieve old memories, even if the representations

are intact, and will randomly select among the stimulus cards.

d.

The monkey will no longer be able recognize visual patterns and will randomly select

among the stimulus cards
