The Parietal Lobe is Responsible for ____

Question

The parietal lobe is responsible for ____.  
A) vision
B) sensory input from the skin and joints
C) hearing
D) generating a motor response
E) inhibiting unsuitable behaviors

Accepted Answer

The parietal lobe is responsible for processing sensory information from the skin and joints, which allows for the perception of touch, pressure, temperature, and body position in space. Vision is primarily processed in the occipital lobe, hearing in the temporal lobe, and generating a motor response in the frontal lobe. Inhibiting unsuitable behaviors involves a combination of frontal lobe and subcortical structures.
