Discuss the impact of damage to the frontal lobe on decision making.

• Improved decision making, calmness, and better emotional control

• Impaired decision making, impulsivity, and difficulty in controlling emotions and behavior

• Enhanced decision making, reduced impulsivity, and improved emotional regulation

• No impact on decision making, increased rationality, and enhanced self-control

Describe the process of auditory processing in the temporal lobe.

• Receiving and interpreting sound information from the ears, processing and analyzing for understanding and recognition of sounds and speech.

• Sending and receiving visual information from the eyes

• Interpreting and recognizing touch sensations in the parietal lobe

• Processing and analyzing taste information in the frontal lobe
