The Iowa Gambling Task. vmPFC = ventromedial prefrontal cortex. Patients with lesions in the vmPFC typically show a preference for cards from the disadvantageous deck throughout the task, leading to a net loss. Neurologically healthy participants typically learn to avoid the disadvantageous decks over the course of the task, eventually drawing exclusively from the advantageous cards for a net gain.
