Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The parahippocampal region is responsible for processing the superficial characteristics of words and other stimuli, such as their shape, color, and sound. This region works in concert with the hippocampal region and other parts of the medial temporal lobe to consolidate memories of these characteristics. The frontal lobe is not directly involved in this process.
