A PET study conducted by Kohler and colleagues (1995)showed that performing an object recognition task produced activation in the ________ lobes,whereas a spatial position task produced activation in the ________ lobes.

B)occipitotemporal / parietal
C)parietal / inferior frontal
D)inferior frontal / superior temporal

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The occipitotemporal lobes are associated with object recognition, while the parietal lobes are involved in spatial processing. Kohler and colleagues' PET study found activation in the occipitotemporal lobes during an object recognition task, and activation in the parietal lobes during a spatial position task. Therefore, the best choice is B, which matches the lobes with their respective functions as identified in the study.
