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: -Separated from the frontal lobe by the lateral fissure, the temporal lobe also contains regions dedicated to processing sensory information, particularly important for hearing, recognising language, and forming memories.

Detailed explanation-3: -Anatomy of Language 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.

Detailed explanation-4: -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.
