D
Temporal lobe
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that the brain is divided into different lobes, each responsible for specific functions related to perception, cognition, and behavior.
Recall that the occipital lobe is primarily responsible for processing visual information, including recognizing shapes, colors, and patterns.
Recognize that reading involves visual processing of printed words, which requires the brain to interpret visual stimuli from the eyes.
Identify that the occipital lobe processes the visual input first, and then this information is sent to other areas like the temporal lobe for language comprehension.
Conclude that because recognizing printed words is a visual task, the occipital lobe plays the primary role in this process.
