Abstract: Cognitive development within a Piagetian framework is partially described in terms of changes from egocentric to non-egocentric (decentration) thought, and is seen as occurring in non-social and social realms. This study examines these abilities in adult patients with focal cortical lesions and argues for neural substrates in cognitive regression. Specifically, all left frontal patients showed deficits in non-social cognition. The other frontal patients were defective in social cognition or both (right frontal and bilateral respectively). No regression occurred in other cortical patients. Findings are discussed in terms of clinical and research application.
