AP PSYCHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -The frontal lobes are important for voluntary movement, expressive language and for managing higher level executive functions. Executive functions refer to a collection of cognitive skills including the capacity to plan, organise, initiate, self-monitor and control one’s responses in order to achieve a goal.

Detailed explanation-2: -While the frontal lobe controls movement, the cerebellum “fine-tunes” this movement. This area of the brain is responsible for fine motor movement, balance, and the brain’s ability to determine limb position. A stroke in this area of the brain can lead to paralysis or “jerky” muscle movements.

Detailed explanation-3: -On its surface, the frontal lobe contains four principal gyri: the precentral, superior frontal, middle frontal, and the inferior frontal gyrus.

Detailed explanation-4: -Speech and language production: Broca’s area, a region in the frontal lobe, helps put thoughts into words.
