Study Notes
Frontal Lobes
- Control motor functions, directing voluntary skeletal muscle movements.
- Engage in higher intellectual processes, including concentration, planning, and problem-solving.
- Critical for assessing consequences of behavior, aiding in decision-making.
Parietal Lobes
- Responsible for sensory perception, including temperature, touch, pressure, and pain from the skin.
- Involved in understanding speech and formulating verbal expressions of thoughts and emotions.
Temporal Lobes
- Handle auditory processing, responsible for the sense of hearing.
- Involved in interpreting sensory experiences and retaining memories of visual scenes, music, and complex sensory patterns.
Occipital Lobes
- Solely responsible for processing visual information, enabling sight.
- Integrate visual stimuli with other sensory inputs to create cohesive sensory experiences.
