Localisation of function - Theory that states that different areas of the brain are responsible for different behaviours, processes or activities. Motor area - Back of frontal lobe, involved in regulating movement. Somatosensory area - Front of both parietal lobes, processes sensory information such as touch. Parts of the brain: Visual area. - Occipital lobe, receives and processes visual information. Parts of the brain: Auditory area. - Temporal lobe, analyses speech-based information. ...
