Which of the following correctly matches a functional region of the cerebral cortex with its primary function?
A
The parietal lobe is primarily responsible for language production.
B
The frontal lobe is primarily responsible for auditory processing.
C
The temporal lobe is primarily responsible for motor coordination.
D
The occipital lobe is primarily responsible for visual processing.
Verified step by step guidance1
Step 1: Understand the cerebral cortex is divided into four main lobes: frontal, parietal, temporal, and occipital, each associated with different primary functions.
Step 2: Identify the primary function of the parietal lobe, which is mainly involved in processing sensory information such as touch, temperature, and spatial awareness, not language production.
Step 3: Recognize that the frontal lobe is primarily responsible for motor functions, decision making, and language production (Broca's area), but not auditory processing.
Step 4: Know that the temporal lobe is primarily involved in auditory processing and memory, rather than motor coordination.
Step 5: Confirm that the occipital lobe is primarily responsible for visual processing, making the statement about the occipital lobe and visual processing the correct match.
