Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Damage to the left temporal lobe can result in difficulty categorizing efficiently, however, this does not necessarily mean that categorization abilities will be completely lost. Some categories may remain unaffected, while others may be more difficult to identify. Option A is incorrect because brain damage does not necessarily result in a total loss of a cognitive ability. Option C is incorrect as difficulty describing the function of an object would be related more to damage in the frontal lobe, rather than the temporal lobe. Option D is incorrect because recognizing dogs and identifying a specific individual requires different cognitive processes that are not solely localized to the left temporal lobe.
