Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The primary auditory cortex is responsible for processing auditory information and is the first cortical area to be stimulated when a word is heard. It sends this information to other cortical areas, such as the Wernicke and Broca areas, for further processing and interpretation. The primary motor area is responsible for executing movements, not processing language. The auditory association area is involved in higher level processing of auditory information, but is not the first cortical area to be stimulated.
