Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which lobe is responsible for hearing, selective attention, and language comprehension?
A
Frontal Lobe
B
Temporal Lobe
C
Parietal Lobe
D
Occipital Lobe
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The temporal lobes sit behind the ears and are the second largest lobe. They are most commonly associated with processing auditory information and with the encoding of memory.

Detailed explanation-2: -Meticulous research over decades has found that the control of this vital ability, called selective attention, belongs to a handful of areas in the brain’s parietal and frontal lobes. Now a new study suggests that another area in an unlikely location–the temporal lobe–also steers the spotlight of attention.

Detailed explanation-3: -The frontal lobes are important for voluntary movement, expressive language and for managing higher level executive functions.

Detailed explanation-4: -Wernicke’s area is a critical language area in the posterior superior temporal lobe connects to Broca’s area via a neural pathway. Wernicke’s area is primarily involved in the comprehension. Historically, this area has been associated with language processing, whether it is written or spoken.
