Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The dorsolateral prefrontal cortex and parietal cortex are commonly associated with working memory tasks, particularly the delay period where information is being maintained in memory. Sustained increases in activity in these regions have been observed in human neuroimaging studies during this phase of the task. The pulvinar nucleus and parietal cortex (A) have also been implicated in working memory, but not specifically during the delay period. The ventral prefrontal cortex (B) is more closely associated with decision-making processes than working memory. The inferior temporal lobe (C) is primarily involved in visual perception and object recognition, and not typically linked to working memory.
