Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The parietal lobe is responsible for processing sensory information related to spatial awareness, such as proprioception (the ability to sense the position of one's body in space) and touch. Gregory's ability to gauge distance and make accurate shots requires precise spatial awareness and therefore suggests that the parietal lobe is functioning efficiently.
