Question

While watching a football game, Martin jumped up to cheer and dropped baby Theresa to the floor. If she later has trouble with higher order thinking, planning, problem solving, or voluntary movement it could indicate that her _____ lobe was damaged.

a. frontal
b. parietal
c. occipital
d. temporal

Answer 1

The correct option is: a. frontal

Step-by-step explanation:

The frontal lobe is the lobe in the brain that is present in the front of the cerebral hemispheres. It is the largest lobe of the brain that is divided into the following four parts: orbital, lateral, medial and polar.

The functions associated with the frontal lobe are problem solving, judgement, reward, spontaneity, attention, planning, language, short-term memory tasks and motor functions.

These are the common functions that will decline drastically if Martin has damaged his frontal lobe.
