Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The prefrontal association cortex plays an important role in personality traits, such as decision-making, social behavior, and emotions. A is incorrect because the limbic system is primarily concerned with motivation and emotion. B is incorrect because the parietal association cortex integrates somatic, auditory, and visual sensations. D is incorrect because sensory localization and intensity perception are functions of the sensory cortex. E is incorrect because aphasia is typically associated with damage to the language areas in the left hemisphere, such as Broca's or Wernicke's area.
