Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The parietal lobe plays a key role in processing sensory information from various parts of the body, including touch (haptic perception) which enabled Joe to feel the doorknob and open the door. The occipital lobe primarily processes visual information, while the temporal lobe is involved in hearing and memory. The cerebral fissures are deep grooves that separate different regions of the brain and do not directly contribute to sensory perception or motor skills.
