- Abstract
The confabulation responds to failures to recognize the chronological order of the stored information, to inhibit some responses, to monitor behavior, benefit from foreign keys with apparent anosognosia of those who suffer from it, which has been related to both memory failures and executive functions. This can be evidenced by means of different specific memory tests and/or other neuropsychological tests frequently used. Objective: To know the presentations, etiology and neuroanatomical correlates of confabulation and its behavior through different neuropsychological evaluation protocols. Methodology: Descriptive review carried out through which information of no more than 5 years (from 2015 to 2020) was filtered through databases such as: Google Scholar, Redalyc.Org, Researcher - app, Pub Med and Scielo, Results: About 50 articles from recent publications were found in which confabulation was the axis of study, or at least was involved in the inclusion criteria of the studies carried out. Conclusions: Confabulation has become a heterogeneous phenomenon. In terms of classification, it would seem more practical and would provide more information the order form suggested by Schnider for confabulation in its four aspects. The etiology of the confabulation is not exclusive to frontal lobe or orbitofrontal damage and it is presumed that the executive function tests used in neuropsychology do not have sufficient sensitivity to reveal the specific frontal dysfunction underlying the confabulations as the tests of memory do.
