摘要：Author Xavier Seron Unité de neurosciences cognitives (NESC), Faculté de psychologie, Université catholique de Louvain, Louvain, Belgique Key words: frontal syndrome, executive functions, historical background, prefrontal cortex, attention DOI : 10.1684/nrp.2009.0003 Page(s) : 16-23 Published in: 2009 We present a review of the concepts and researches done during the first part of the xxth century regarding the frontal lobes functions. The respective contributions of different methodological approaches : clinical observations of single cases, psychometric analyses of groups of patients and experiments with animal are underlined. The absence of any integrative theoretical approach of the frontal lobe functions is highlighted with the noticeable exception of the Luria’s contribution. The appearance of the cognitive approach is then briefly described with a special emphasis to the contribution of Tim Shallice and Antonio Damasio.
