I am looking for an article or if anyone can explain it to me whether the nature of memory deficit observed in a classic temporal lobe damage is different from a memory deficit observed in the temporal lobe?
Thanks

Take my answer with a grain of salt. With temporal damage (hypocampal) there is a disruption of consolidation of engrams. In other words there a problem of rapid forgetting. Information is not retained efficiently in long term memory. It is like a damage of the write process on a hard disk. In neuropsychological examination we expect disrupted recognition in tests of learning. In case of frontal damage (Research suggest that right inferior frontal gyrus is specifically involved) we expect problems with metamemory or working with memory (not to be confused with working memory). There is a problem with recollection of information that is otherwise properly stored/retained at least once learnt. It is like a damage to search engine. In neuropsychological examination we expect disrupted recall but intact recognition. But seriously it is always better to check something by searching in literature.
Paweł Przybylski Thanks for the explanation. I have reviewed some literature on it. One of which I have attached I asked this question to know whether there is a general consideration as to the nature of frontal or temporal lobe memory deficit.
