The region of the brain called the hind brain consists of all of the following except?

• Medulla oblongata

• Cerebrum

• Cerebellum

• Pons

This region/part of the brain coordinates movement and is where various features of motor learning take place? (i.e. balance, coordination, speech, posture, and muscle or implicit memory)

• Cerebrum

• Cerrebellum

This region of the brain is divided into two sides by a trench called the longitudinal fissure that are linked by a bundle of neural fibers called the corpus callosum.

• Cerebrum

• Cerrebellum

• Medulla oblongata

• Pons

This lobe of the cerebrum contains the primary motor cortex and is essential for problem solving, and speech

• Frontal

• Temporal

• Parietal

• Occipital

What lobe of the brain mainly functions in auditory processing but has some role in visual memory and your ability to learn language?

• Frontal

• Temporal

• Parietal

• Occipital

This lobe of the brain contains the somatosensory cortex and is crucial for processing the information from touch.

• Frontal

• Temporal

• Parietal

• Occipital

What lobe of the brain allows us to quickly process visual information from the eyes and relay that information so we can respond accordingly?

• Frontal

• Temporal

• Parietal

• Occipital
