Psychologist Colin DeYoung and His Colleagues Had Over 100 Male

Psychologist Colin DeYoung and his colleagues had over 100 male and female participants undergo MRI scans and also take the NEO Personality Inventory, a personality test that is used to measure the Big Five. The researchers then compared the brain scans and the personality test results. What was one of the results that they found?

A) Conscientiousness was associated with a large region of the frontal cortex called the middle frontal gyrus, which is known to be involved in planning, working memory, and self-regulation.
B) Conscientiousness was associated with a large region of the cingulate cortex called the posterior cingulate cortex, which is known to be involved in planning, working memory, and self-regulation.
C) Conscientiousness was associated with a large region of the temporal cortex called the fusiform gyrus, which is known to be involved in planning, working memory, and self-regulation.
D) Conscientiousness was associated with a large region of the occipital cortex called the primary visual cortex, which is known to be involved in planning, working memory, and self-regulation.
