Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The basal ganglia is responsible for habit formation and execution, so it is likely to be most active during Ronald's routine of vacuuming his apartment every morning at seven. The amygdala is involved in emotional processing and the pons is involved in regulating sleep and arousal, neither of which are directly related to this routine. The association cortex is involved in higher-order cognitive tasks such as perception, memory, and language, which may not be directly involved in this routine.
