disorders observed to varying degrees in fatigue and organic lesions of the brain, primarily in the frontal lobes. Inadequate changes in the direction and selectivity of activity, as well as the coordination of individual actions, may narrow the volume of attention, its instability – distractibility to side stimuli. With damage to the frontal lobes of the brain and related non-specific structures, attention disorders can be modal-nonspecific and manifest themselves in many types of activity, in perceptions of any modality. When a certain analyzer system is affected, attention disorders are modal-specific and manifest themselves in the sphere of only one modality. Thus, when the occipital region of the cerebral cortex is affected, visual attention disorders occur, and when the temporal cortex is affected, auditory attention occurs.
