Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that the human brain is divided into different lobes, each responsible for specific functions.
Recall that the parietal lobe is primarily involved in processing sensory information, especially related to touch, spatial orientation, and body position.
Recognize that interpreting auditory information is mainly a function of the temporal lobe, not the parietal lobe.
