 A frontal lobe function in alcoholics was investigated to evaluate characteristics in alcoholics by using FAB, a simple assessment battery for frontal lobe function, and “theory of mind” task. Nineteen alcoholics and 13 normal controls were enrolled in this study for comparison. The total score FAB and the achievement rate of “theory of mind” were significantly lower in alcoholics (p value<0.01 and p<0.05, respectively). The achievement rate of at the FAB cut-off point showed no significant differences, but mental flexibility and inhibitory control, which were subtests of FAB, were significantly lower in alcoholics (p<0.01 and p<0.05, respectively). This study suggested the possibility that a frontal lobe function and ability of “theory of mind” in alcoholics might be injured by alcohol and this kind of injury might affect “denial”, which induces the greatest problem in alcoholics.
