Rationale: The frontal lobe receives information from the limbic system that results in an effect on thinking, ability to plan, judgment, and understanding consequences of behavior. The temporal lobe is involved with memory, cognition, and understanding the acoustic aspects of language. The parietal lobe is involved with sensory functions. Memory is associated with the temporal and occipital lobes.
