• What is the role of the frontal lobe?

  Decision-making and impulse control
• How does the frontal lobe assist in problem-solving?

  It helps concentrate and pay attention
• What is located towards the back of the frontal lobe?

  The motor cortex
• What is the function of the motor cortex?

  Controls voluntary movements of the body
• What functions does the temporal lobe assist with?

  Hearing, understanding sounds, and speech
• What is the auditory cortex responsible for?

  Controlling hearing

• What is the somatosensory cortex responsible for?

  Our sense of touch
• What is the main function of the occipital lobe?

  Processing visual information
• What is another name for the occipital lobe?

  The visual cortex
• How does the cerebellum contribute to movement?

  It coordinates movement, balance, and motor skills
• What does lateralisation of function in the brain mean?

  Each hemisphere has different jobs or roles
• How do the two hemispheres of the brain differ?

  They have different structures and functions
• Which side of the brain controls the left side of the body?

  The right side of the brain
• What connects the right and left hemispheres of the brain?

  The corpus callosum
• What is the role of the corpus callosum?

  It allows communication between hemispheres
• What happens if Broca's area is damaged?

  People may find it difficult to talk
• What does the left hemisphere control in terms of language?

  Production of speech and language processing

  It is processed by the left hemisphere
• What traditional belief exists about male and female brain functions?

  Females excel in language skills, males in spatial skills
• What did Harasty et al. (1997) suggest about female brains?

  Parts processing language are slightly bigger
• What did Rilea et al. (2005) find about males and spatial tasks?

  Males were better at some spatial tasks
• What is a strength of the research on sex differences in brain function?

  It uses scientific methods like brain scans
• What is a weakness of the research on sex differences in brain function?

  Males did not always outperform females in tasks
• What did Sommer et al. (2004) suggest about females and language tasks?

  There was no strong evidence for using both hemispheres
